The draw has been made for this year's All-Ireland SFC round-robin phase, with 16 teams still left to battle it out for the Sam Maguire.
It is a fairly open tournament this year, even more so after Dublin's defeat to Meath in the Leinster SFC at the weekend, their first loss in 15 years, which puts them as third seeds, setting up a potential group of death.
Kerry looked to be the frontrunners after winning the league in style, but were ran close by an unheralded Cork side in recent weeks.
They do remain favourites, however, while Jim McGuinness's Donegal charges , reigning champions Armagh, and battle-hardened Galway side, all harbour serious title ambitions.
The seedings coming into today's draw were as follows, with the provincial finals to be played out in the coming weeks to decide the first and second seeds.

Cork boss not pleased with ‘hypocritical’ ref behaviour from Limerick manager
A bit of needle…. There was a bit of needle between Cork boss Ben O’Connor and Limerick gaffer John Kiely after today’s Munster final at Páirc Uí Chaoimh. O’Connor was clearly not pleased with some of the behaviour from Kiely, and perhaps some decisions from the officials. And the Rebels manager did admit that things […]
