Dublin will be involved in the first of this year's semi-finals

Dublin are the side to face a six-day turnaround ahead of this year's All-Ireland SFC semi-finals.

The Dubs booked their place in the last four with victory over Tyrone last weekend to top Group 2 in the Super 8s.

They will play their final group game against the already eliminated Roscommon on Sunday, 5 August.

And then six day days later on Saturday, 11 August, the All-Ireland champions will face the runner up in Group 1 at Croke Park, throw-in 5pm.

That will be either Monaghan, who currently occupy that spot, Galway or Kerry. The latter can only finish second in the group.

For that to happen, the Kingdom will be hoping for a Galway win over the Farney in the final round and that they themselves can beat Kildare by a margin that would see them surpass the Ulster side on points difference.

The second semi will take place on Sunday, 12 August at GAA HQ, throw-in 3.30pm. 

Galway or Monaghan will take on either Donegal or Tyrone. Monaghan will need to beat their Connacht opponents to take top spot in Group 1, while a draw for Tyrone against the Ulster champions in Ballybofey on Sunday week will be good enough for them to progress from Group 2. Donegal need to win.
