Dublin’s hurlers and footballers will both be in action at Croke Park on Saturday July 10th after the county were drawn at home in both codes in today’s qualifier draws.

First up, Dublin hurling boss Anthony Daly will face his native county Clare in the second phase of the All-Ireland hurling qualifiers, with the throw-in set for 4.00pm.

Pat Gilroy’s footballers make their first appearance in the qualifiers since 2004 with a clash against Tipperary, which is scheduled to throw in at 6.00pm.

Both matches will be covered live, with RTE showing the hurlers and TV3 broadcasting the football game.
