Details confirmed for Royals quarter-final clash with the Tribesmen

Meath will take on Galway at 1.45pm in Croke Park on Sunday in the All-Ireland SFC Quarter Final

Meath will face Galway in their first knockout All-Ireland SFC quarter-final since 2010. The much-anticipated draw for this weekend's quarter-final fixtures took place at 8.30am on Monday's Morning Ireland.

On Monday afternoon the CCCC confirmed that Meath will play Galway on Sunday at 1.45 pm in a doubleheader at HQ with reigning champions Armagh taking on Kerry afterwards at 4pm. The GAA have confirmed that tickets will go on sale Tuesday 24th June at 1pm.

Meath and Galway last met in the NFL Div 2 meeting in Salthill in 2022 with the Tribesmen winning that game 1-14 to 0-6. The last championship meeting of the two sides was in the 2011 All-Ireland SFC Qualifiers and on that occasion, the Royals defeated Galway at Pairc Taileann on a scoreline of 0-11 to 0-10.

Meath topped their group in the All-Ireland SFC series with a sensational round three victory over Kerry in Tullamore to follow their win over Cork in Navan and draw with Roscommon in Hyde Park.

Galway finished second in their group and earned their place in the last eight with a win over Down in the weekend's preliminary quarter-finals.

The other two quarter finals will take place on Saturday afternoon and will see Donegal take on Monaghan at 4pm before Dublin clash with old rivals Tyrone at 6.15pm. All of the quarter-final fixtures will be shown live on RTE.

The full quarter-final draw is: Armagh v Kerry, Saturday at 4pm; Tyrone v Dublin, Saturday at 6.15pm; Meath v Galway, Sunday at 1.45pm; Monaghan v Donegal, Sunday at 4pm.
