Semi-final dates confirmed along with Tailteann final - Kerry paired with Derry as Dublin face Monaghan

Holders Kerry will play Derry and Dublin will face Monaghan after the draw for the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship semi-finals was made.

With repeat pairings being avoided, it left Kerry and Dublin in the same bowl as Monaghan and Derry had met in the group phase of the All-Ireland.

The Kingdom dispatched Tyrone with ease yesterday while Derry edged out Cork on Sunday.

Monaghan advanced on penalties against Armagh to set up a clash with Dublin after their easy win over Mayo.

It provides the possibility of a Dublin v Kerry final on 30 July while there could also be the first all-Ulster decider since 2003.

Dublin will face Monaghan at Croke Park on Saturday 15 July, throw-in 5:30pm, while Kerry and Derry will face off on Sunday 16 July at 4pm. Both semi-finals will be broadcast live on RTE.
