THE DRAW HAS been made this morning for Round 2 of the All-Ireland football qualifiers with Mayo and Donegal amongst the teams discovering their opening backdoor assignments.
After a second successive Connacht semi-final loss to Galway, Mayo will have home advantage when they meet Derry, victors over Waterford in Dungarvan on Saturday.
Donegal will entertain Longford as they seek to bounce back from an emphatic loss to Tyrone in yesterday’s Ulster semi-final.
Meath have been handed a home tie against Sligo after they exited teh Leinster stage at the hands of Kildare in Tullamore on Saturday night.
And finally Clare’s next tie will be away to Laois – winners over Wicklow on Saturday – in a match that is a repeat of last year’s qualifier tie between the counties.
Times and venues will be confirmed later for games that will likely take place on Saturday 1 July.
The draw in full is:

Rooney must not be able to be believe the week he’s having and it’s still only Monday.
@Luke Prendeville: they come in 3s.wonder what’s next

Good man Wayne, well suited to manage youngsters.
Was it he you let you fall asleep in the hotel and that’s your revenge?
@Aidan Bourke: he wasn’t even there
@Dáithí Ó Maoileoin: did you take the pics?
@Dáithí Ó Maoileoin: hotel or training ground?
Rooney entered at least 2 different challenges the night before and came out worst by all accounts
I thought Rooney was playing away from home this week.
Ireland have form here, as Mick McCarthy once broke Colin Healy’s leg at Sunderland.
Rooney’s tackle getting him into trouble once again
Oh FFS.
