The All-Ireland football and hurling qualifiers were made on the Sunday Game last night and produced some interesting ties. In the football qualifiers Kerry will expect a much tougher test against Fermanagh after they hammered Wicklow 5-15 to 0-7 in Portlaoise yesterday.
Looking comfortable on the draw where Meath after their late show against Louth on Saturday evening. Laois will now face their Leinster neighbours after they performed wonders to beat Clare last week. The qualifiers have thrown up an all Ulster affair with Tyrone facing a test of character against Derry. Finally in the football qualifiers Mayo will face either Offaly or Limerick, who meet next Saturday at the Gaelic Grounds.
Moving to the Hurling qualifiers and All-Ireland champions Tipperary face a interesting encounter against Ofally after they lost to a spirited Waterford side in the Munster Final yesterday. Galway remain untested but will have to be at their very best to beat Cork. Finally, Clare will meet the losers of next Sunday's Leinster Final, which will be Kilkenny or Wexford.
