All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Rounds 2A and 2B get underway this weekend, with all four provincial champions on the road for their second game. Here’s everything you need to know.
Donegal v Cork
The first game of the weekend, and only Round 2A game on Saturday, sees Donegal take on Cork in Round 2A of the All-Ireland Football Championship. Donegal enter the game as favourites but will be wary of the last time they took on the Rebels in the 2024 All-Ireland round robin stage, which John Cleary’s side won. The game will be played at MacCumhaill Park in Ballybofey on Saturday, June 13, at 3:00 pm. It will not be shown on RTE or GAA+.
Monaghan v Roscommon
The first Round 2B game of the weekend sees Moghan welcome Roscommon to Clones. The Rossies won by six points the last time these two met, on their way to becoming the eventual Connacht champions. The game will be played at St Tiernach’s Park in Clones on Saturday, June 13, at 4:30 pm. It will be shown live on GAA+.
Kildare v Kerry
The penultimate Saturday fixture sees Kildare host Kerry after the Kingdom’s Round 1 defeat against Jim McGuinness’ Donegal team in Killarney. The game will be played at Cedral St Conleth’s Park in Newbridge on Saturday, June 13, at 5:30 pm. It will not be shown on RTE or GAA+.
Derry v Meath
The final game on Saturday sees Meath travel to Derry, in a tough draw for both sides. The counties first met in the 1987 All-Ireland semi-final, in a year when the Royals lifted Sam, but Derry won a 2016 qualifier clash between the two. The game gets underway at Find Insurance Celtic Park on Saturday, June 13, at 7:00 pm. It will be shown live on GAA+.
Louth v Armagh
Sunday’s All-Ireland action starts with Armagh having drawn their border neighbours, Louth, in Round 2A, who don’t currently have a suitable home venue for a game of that size, meaning the game will be played at Inniskeen, Monaghan, on Sunday, June 14, at 1:00 pm and will be shown on RTE Sport.
Galway v Westmeath
In another Round 2A clash, Westmeath head to Galway to face Padraic Joyce’s men, as they hope to keep their fairytale season rolling after brushing aside Cavan after extra time in Round 1. The game will be played in Pearse Stadium on Sunday, June 14, at 2:00 pm. It will be shown live on GAA+.
Tyrone v Mayo
Tyrone host Mayo to close out Round 2A, with Malachy O’Rourke’s side hoping to make it a Connacht one-two after defeating Roscommon last time out. The match will be played at O’Neills Healy Park on Sunday, June 14, at 3:30 pm. The match will be shown on RTE Sport.
Cavan v Dublin
The final game of the All-Ireland SFC weekend sees Cavan host Dublin in Round 2B. The Dubs have had a disappointing season so far, and will be hoping for a change of fortune now that manager Ger Brennan will return to the sidelines after a 12-week ban. The game is being played at Kingspan Breffni Park on Sunday, June 14, at 2:00 pm. It will not be shown on RTE or GAA+.
