GAA confirm dates and times of All-Ireland Football semi-finals


Share this article


The GAA has confirmed the dates and times of the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship semi-finals.

The reigning champions Dublin head to Omagh on Sunday week for a showdown with Tyrone to decide who finishes top of Group Two in the quarter-final series.

Both counties have recorded two wins each against Roscommon and Cork and guaranteed themselves a semi-final spot.

Tyrone need to win to claim the top spot as even a draw would do for the Dubs who are 24 points better off in the scoring difference.

The group winners will face the second-placed team from Group One in the semi-finals which has been fixed for Saturday, August 10 meaning they will only have a six-day turnaround after the Healy Park clash.

The runners-up in Group Two will face the top team in Group One and there are still three teams vying for that position.

Kerry are the leading county on 3 points, the same as Donegal, following the draw between the two sides last Sunday but the Munster side have conceded one less point.

A win for the Kingdom away to Meath would most likely guarantee them top spot depending on how Mayo fare against Donegal in Castlebar.

Donegal need to win away against Mayo to have any chance of finishing top while a defeat could see them missing out on the last four if Kerry avoid a loss to Meath.

The second semi-final with the Group One winners will be played on Sunday, August 11 with a 3 pm throw-in at Croke Park.

Both games will be shown live on RTE and Sky and will be preceded by the All-Ireland Minor Football Championship semi-finals.
