Draw made for SHC Qualifiers
Offaly will face Cork in the first round of the All-Ireland SHC qualifiers, while the tie of the second round will see Clare entertain Galway in Ennis.
Clare surprised the Tribesmen and then manager Ger Loughane at Cusack Park in 2007.
However, Galway were excellent against Kilkenny in Saturday's Leinster semi-final, and would be highly-fancied to advance at the expense of their neighbours, who made life very difficult for Tipperary in today's Munster SHC semi-final.
Minnows Laois and Antrim were the other tie to come out of the phase draw, which will please both camps. Galway inflicted a hammering on Laois, while in the other Leinster quarter-final Antrim put up tame display against Dublin.
Wexford, who bowed out to the Dubs in Leinster today, will be happy to have been handed a home draw against Limerick.
