Bumper afternoon in the hurling and football qualifiers

It’s a bumper afternoon in the hurling and football qualifiers.

Last year’s beaten All-Ireland Football finalists Mayo host Derry at 5 in a heavyweight second-round qualifier at McHale Park.

Donegal go up against Longford at Ballybofey – also at 5.

At 3pm it’s Laois against Clare in Portlaoise with the Banner hoping to make it back-to-back Championship wins over the O’Moores.

At the same time, Offaly welcome Waterford to Bord na Mona O’Connor Park in the hurling.

There’s one 6pm football game where Meath take on Sligo at Navan.

The pick of the hurling games sees Kilkenny host Limerick at 7 while Dublin face injury-hit Laois.
