The Round 2A Football Championship Draw and Round 1 Hurling Championship draw took place on Monday morning, throwing up some interesting fixtures.

Roscommon will look to bounce back from their shock Connacht semi-final defeat against Sligo as they renew rivalries with Cavan. The two met twice in the 2014 league, including the Division Three final, as well as in last year’s championship and this year’s league.

Roscommon have two wins, Cavan have one, and this year’s meeting in Division Two ended in a draw.

Antrim will get a chance at revenge as they meet Fermanagh, the team who knocked them out of the Ulster championship.
