The opening round of the All-Ireland senior football Championship has concluded, and we now know which teams will compete in rounds 2A and 2B in the pursuit of Sam Maguire.<\/p>\n

Last week witnessed the Championship commence with controversy in Killarney<\/a>. Following this weekend’s remarkable action, the altercation between Kerry and Donegal feels like ancient history.<\/p>\n

As do the days when the Dubs dominated all opposition. Ger Brennan’s side suffered defeat to Louth on Sunday<\/a> for the first time in the Championship in over 50 years. That aura of invincibility has now vanished entirely – the Dubs have fallen to Meath, Westmeath and Louth in Championship encounters over the past 12 months.<\/p>\n

All hope hasn’t been extinguished for our defeated teams in round 1<\/a>. They progress into round 2B, where it is genuinely win or go home. Losing in 2B means elimination from the Championship, and nobody fancies a lengthy summer of introspection.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow morning’s draw will determine the fixtures. However, we already know which teams will feature in the draw, and which pot they will be placed in.<\/p>\n

What time is the draw taking place?<\/p>\n

The draw takes place at 8:30am on Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

How can I watch the draw?<\/p>\n

Keep an eye on GAA+ YouTube channels and social channels.<\/p>\n

Here are the teams that will be in the pot for 2A and 2B.<\/p>\n

2A Pot – Victorious teams from Round 1<\/p>\n

Donegal Cork Galway Tyrone Westmeath Armagh Louth Mayo<\/p>\n

2B Pot – Losing teams from Round 1<\/p>\n

Kerry Meath Kildare Roscommon Cavan Derry Dublin Monaghan<\/p>\n

What happens next?<\/p>\n

The eight sides in 2A will be paired against one another. The four victors from those fixtures will advance to the quarter-final stage, while the four defeated teams will drop into round 3 – effectively a play-off round for the last-eight spots.<\/p>\n

The eight sides in 2B will be matched up against each other. The four losers from those encounters are eliminated from the Championship, with the four winners progressing to round 3.<\/p>\n

The four victors in Round 3 advance to the quarter-finals where they’ll face the winners from 2A, while those defeated in round 3 are knocked out of the Championship.<\/p>\n
