NEW YORK’S HISTORY-MAKING footballers will travel to Carlow next weekend in the preliminary quarter-finals of the Tailteann Cup.
The other ties see Offaly host Wexford, Fermanagh at home to Laois, and Down hosting Longford.
The line-up for the knockout rounds was completed on Sunday with Antrim joining Limerick, Meath and Cavan as group winners and booking their direct route to the quarter-finals.
Antrim ran out 3-13 to 1-12 winners against Fermanagh in a winner-take-all Group 4 clash that went down to the wire in Corrigan Park.

Andy McEntee’s side led by the bare minimum, 1-12 to 1-11, as the game entered the 70th minutes before two late goals from Oisin Doherty and Ruairi McCann secured the points and a 100% record in the round robin stages.
Group 4′s other game on Sunday saw Wexford beat Leitrim by four points, 1-16 to 1-12, to clinch third place and a spot in the knockout rounds.
In Group 3, Limerick — who were already assured of topping the group — lost 2-14 to 1-10 in their dead rubber match against a Wicklow side who had already been eliminated.
Carlow beat Longford by 2-13 to 1-14 in what was effectively a play-off for second place in the group, and with it, the prize of home advantage in the preliminary quarter-finals.
Two first-half goals from Mikey Bambrick and Jamie Clarke (penalty) edged Carlow into a two-point lead at the break in O’Moore Park, 2-5 to 0-9.
Longford drew level after the restart and then hit the front through Paddy Fox’s goal on 52 minutes, 1-13 to 2-7.
But it was Carlow who had the most left in the tank, reeling off six of the last seven points of the afternoon to claim victory.
