Roscommon will be away to Monaghan in Round 2B of the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship.

The draw, which was live on Morning Ireland in the Hodson Bay Hotel on Tuesday morning, saw Mark Dowd's men pitted against the Farney County, a team they beat 3-16 to 1-16 when the sides met in this year's Division One Football League.

The Connacht champions, who were edged out by Tyrone on Sunday week last, will make the trip to Clones on the weekend of June 13th and 14th. 

Roscommon's last visit to Clones was in 2023 when Monaghan brought the Rossies' unbeaten league run to an end, inflicting a 0-14 to 0-11 defeat.

The other Round 2B ties will see Derry host Meath, Kildare at home to Kerry, and Cavan entertaining Dublin.

The winners of these games will meet the losers of Round 2A for a place in the All-Ireland quarter-final. The Round 2A draw also took place on Tuesday morning, which saw Tyrone drawn at home to Mayo, Louth against Armagh, Donegal hosting Cork, and Galway at home to Westmeath. 

The draws were made by GAA President, Jarlath Burns, and CCCC (Central Competitions Control Committee) Chairperson and County Roscommon native, Brian Carroll. 

Meanwhile, it has been confirmed that next weekend's All-Ireland MFC quarter-final between Roscommon and Derry will take place at Kingspan Breffni, Cavan, on Saturday evening at 7 p.m..
