MAYO AND ROSCOMMON will head back to Croke Park on Bank Holiday Monday for their All-Ireland senior football quarter-final replay.
The sides finished level at 2-9 to 1-12 this afternoon and the GAA have confirmed this evening the date and venue for the replay.
The throw-in time will be finalised tomorrow for the game on Monday 7 August.
It will be the fifth inter-county game next weekend at Croke Park with a busy schedule of games set to take place.
Saturday will see the football quarter-final meetings of Armagh and Tyrone at 4pm, followed by Dublin against Monaghan at 6pm.
On Sunday the first All-Ireland senior hurling semi-final will take place as Galway meet Tipperary, while the minor curtain-raiser sees Galway take on Kilkenny.
Then on Monday it will be another battle between the Connacht rivals Mayo and Roscommon.
Both managers had indicated their preference for a Bank Holiday Monday replay fixture.
“Monday here, that’s what we want,” stated Roscommon boss Kevin McStay, speaking before the replay had been confirmed.
“Sure it can’t be anywhere else. I know people are dreaming up Salthill or some place for the craic of it.
“We have no helicopters or airport in Roscommon to fly into Galway. It has to be here. This is where the All-Ireland quarter-finals are held. ”
“We’ve played an All-Ireland quarter-final on a Bank Holiday before and happy to again,” said Mayo boss Stephen Rochford.

Very sad. #RIP
Such a shame. Only beginning his career and then he passes away at the point where his dream came true.
Rest In Peace, Dylan.
R.i.p, you did what most of us dream about….
Never saw or heard of him but just by reading about his story would give ANYONE inspiration,never giving up on a dream he had to the last.What a courages young man unfortunately taken from this world far far to early.His family can be very proud of him as they reared a wonderful young man.May god rest his soul
The club and the fans stuck with him the last 3 years, willed him on and he even got a run out for the first team last season. He was at the training ground whenever he could. The last update was that all was looking good, until today. The players and staff are shell shocked! It will be a sad and tough day at Upton Park tomorrow.
RIP Dylan.
