The draw has been made for the Round 3A qualifiers this morning.

Donegal have been given a potentially tricky away game at Meath. The game will be played at Pairc Tailteann in Navan after Meath were pulled first from the bowl.

Rory Gallagher’s Donegal defeated Longford 0-12 to 0-7 in Ballybofey on Saturday evening in Ballybofey.

Donegal trailed 0-4 to 0-3 at half-time. Longford saw James McGivney red carded in the 49th minute and they did just enough to advance.

Meath earned their first qualifier win in six years when Micky Newman hit two late points for a 0-14 to 1-9 win over Sligo in Navan.

Donegal and Meath have played twice previously in the Championship. In 1990, Meath won an All-Ireland semi-final 3-9 to 1-7 while Donegal defeated the Royals 1-13 to 0-14 in a 2002 qualifier.

In the other Round 3A game this weekend, Clare will be at home to Mayo.

Confirmation of venues, times and all dates for the fixtures will be confirmed following a meeting of C.C.C.C this afternoon.
