The GAA have issued important information on how the All-Ireland senior football semi-final draw will work ahead of Sunday’s quarter-final double header.<\/a><\/p>\n

Mayo and Kerry have already booked<\/a> their places in the last four, with the final two semi-finalists to be decided on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Monaghan face Louth at 1:45pm, before Dublin take on Galway at 4pm.<\/p>\n

GAA Issue Important Information About Potential All-Ireland Semi-Final Draw<\/p>\n

According to reporting from John Fogarty of The Irish Examiner on Twitter<\/a>, depending on the results of those games, the semi-final draw could either be an open draw or be restricted due to the avoidance of repeat pairings.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

If Louth and Dublin win, they will join Mayo and Kerry in the semi-finals.<\/a><\/p>\n

In that scenario, Louth v Dublin would be the only repeat pairing. Due to the avoidance of repeat pairings, Mayo and Kerry would be drawn against Louth and Dublin.<\/p>\n

That would leave the possible semi-final pairings as:<\/p>\n

Mayo v Dublin\/Louth
Kerry v Dublin\/Louth<\/p>\n

If Louth and Galway win, there would be no repeat pairings.<\/p>\n

\n Recommended\n <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

In that case, it would be an open draw between the four teams, meaning Mayo, Kerry, Louth and Galway could be drawn against any of the other three sides.<\/p>\n

If Monaghan and Dublin win, they will join Mayo and Kerry in the semi-finals.<\/p>\n

That would create one repeat pairing, with Mayo having already faced Monaghan. As a result, Mayo and Monaghan would be drawn against Kerry and Dublin.<\/p>\n

The possible pairings would be:<\/p>\n

Mayo v Dublin\/Kerry
Monaghan v Dublin\/Kerry<\/p>\n

If Monaghan and Galway win, the same Mayo v Monaghan repeat pairing would need to be avoided.<\/p>\n

That would mean Mayo and Monaghan being drawn against Kerry and Galway.<\/p>\n

The possible semi-final pairings would be:<\/p>\n

Mayo v Galway\/Kerry
Monaghan v Galway\/Kerry<\/p>\n

The situation means Sunday’s quarter-finals will not only decide the final two teams in the All-Ireland semi-finals, but also shape the exact nature of the draw.<\/p>\n

Mayo and Kerry will be watching closely, with their potential opponents depending entirely on whether repeat pairings must be avoided once the final four is confirmed.<\/p>\n
