The Roscommon senior footballers have found out their potential opponents in the upcoming All-Ireland Series after the draw was made this afternoon.

Davy Burke’s men will commence their campaign away to the Leinster champions, most likely Dublin. They will play the runners-up of Sunday’s Connacht final between Mayo and Galway at Dr. Hyde Park before meeting Cavan in their final match at a neutral venue.

The winner’s of Sunday’s Connacht final have been drawn in a very difficult group as they will welcome league champions Derry for their first group match. They will travel to Westmeath before playing the beaten Ulster finalists at a neutral venue.

In the Tailteann Cup, Leitrim have been drawn alongside Kildare, Longford and Waterford, while Sligo will face Antrim, Wexford and Tipperary.
