All-Ireland SFC semi-final draw live on The Sunday Game
The draw for this year's All-Ireland SFC semi-finals will take place on The Sunday Game Live show after the clash between Armagh and Kerry.
Both of Sunday's quarter-finals, Meath and Galway (1.45pm) and Armagh v Kerry (4pm) will be live on RTÉ2 and the RTÉ Player with coverage starting at 1.15pm.
The draw for the semi-final will follow the Armagh and Kerry encounter.
On Saturday Monaghan take on Donegal and Tyrone face Dublin in the two other quarter-finals. Highlights of those games will be on The Saturday Game at 9:45pm, with live radio commentary on RTÉ Radio 1 and updates on rte.ie/sport.
The GAA have confirmed that semi-final draw will be structured to avoid all repeat pairings from this year's championship.
Unlike the quarter-finals draw where only All-Ireland group match-ups and provincial final line-ups were avoided, the semi-final draw will be set up to prevent any repeat pairing where possible.
Dublin could not play Meath, for example, with the two having previously met in the Leinster SFC semi-final, nor could Armagh be drawn against Galway after the two sides met in the round-robin phase.

Dublin v Tyrone: Dessie Farrell's Dubs beaten as their All-Ireland dream is over for another year
Dessie Farrell's Dublin will look to return to the All-Ireland semi-finals with 2021 champions Tyrone standing in their way. Throw-in at Croke Park is 6.15pm and you can follow all the action as it happens below. Match Finished FULL-TIME: Tyrone march on to the semi-finals! It's all over in Croke Park and The Red Hand County surge into the last four of the All-Ireland SFC semi-finals. Who can have any complaints with that as Malachy O'Rourke guides them to their first semi-final in four years. Kieran McGeary has been named as man of the match. The bench played a big part in their victory as Eoin McElholm and Ruairi Canavan added great energy in the dying embers of the game. Dublin largely relied on Cormac Costello, but his presence faded rapidly in the second-half, as did Dessie Farrell's men as a whole. 70' Point Tyrone Scorer Ruairí Canavan Another Errigal Ciaran man to the fore as Ruairi Canavan adds further gloss to the scoreboard from a Tyrone perspective! 69' Point Tyrone Scorer Darragh Canavan That will surely be that! Darragh Canavan fires over the insurance score for Tyrone. 69' Can Dublin produce something special here? It seems like it's a goal or nothing here as Con O'Callaghan hoofs it in but Niall Morgan emerges with the ball. 68' Point Tyrone Scorer Ben McDonnell That could be the insurance score for Tyrone! Another bit of assured possession and game management from the Red Hand County as Ben McDonnell fists a point over Cluxton's bar. 67' Tyrone get a huge turnover in defence but Kieran McGeary makes the crucial mistake of kicking it out over the sideline to hand Dublin possession. 66' Point Tyrone Scorer Ruairí Canavan The Errigal Ciaran man was introduced only three minutes ago and he's made an instant impact as he restores the red Hand County's two-point advantage. 66' John Small shows his experience to win the free. Stephen Cluxton trots up the field and attempts to level the game from outside the '45 but it's wide. Wide number 10 for Dessie Farrell's side. 65' Point Dublin Scorer Luke Breathnach A one-score game once again! Dublin looked like they lost the ball but Luke Breathnach battled for possession and swung it over the bar in one fluid movement. Huge score. 64' Finally, Dublin try their luck from two-point range and it's Con O'Callaghan in the pocket but it crucially sails left and wide. Just 5 points for the Dubs in this second-half. 63' Point Tyrone Scorer Eoin McElholm That's the Loughmacrory club man off the mark since his introduction as he raced past Ciaran Kilkenny and squeezed the ball between the Hill 16 uprights. 62' WATCH: Con O'Callaghan introduced himself with a point from the bench earlier in the second-half 59' The change in midfield is part of a double alteration as Niall Scully makes way through injury for Luke Breathnach. 57' Substitution Tyrone Substituted out Cormac Quinn Substituted in Aidan Clarke A change at corner-back for Tyrone as play is stopped for Niall Scully who is receiving some attention. 56' Point Dublin Scorer Ciaran Kilkenny Tyrone's hunger has been second to none as Kieran McGeary puts in a sensational block on Cormac Costellow, but Peter Harte gives away the foul. Dublin retain possession and work it around to Ciaran Kilkenny who registers his eighth point against Tyrone in championship football. Live Blog Software

Jim McGuinness credits Donegal players for finding a way past Monaghan
Jim McGuinness was delighted to see the decision not to make a raft of half-time changes against Monaghan pay off handsomly as his Donegal side wiped away a seven-point deficit at Croke Park to book their place in the All-Ireland SFC semi-finals. At half-time in Saturday's all-Ulster quarter-final, Donegal trailed by seven points after a lacklustre first-half display. However, McGuinness avoided the temptation to make any changes to personnel and saw his side take charge of the second '35 en route to a six-point victory. Speaking to RTÉ Sport after the 1-26 to 1-20 triumph, McGuinness said he had trusted the starting side selected to turn Donegal's fortunes around. "It's something we spoke about at half-time. It's one of those situations where you can do all the planning in the world and all the coaching but at the end of the day, you do end up in these moments in championship runs where everything is on the line and the players have to find a way," he said. "And for that reason, we didn't make any changes. We left the same 15 go out there again and in fairness to them, to a man, they turned it around very, very well." The way his players tackled the second half was particularly pleasing for the Donegal manager. "The energy they brought to it as well was absolutely fantastic. Our decision-making was way better and we used the ball really well, and supported each other really well and we got in and we were dangerous," he said. "There were a lot of positives. Obviously, there are a lot of things we need to look at in terms of the game overall in the first half, but listen, at this level of competition now, teams are going to ask serious questions of you and it's probably a situation where we were trying to stay in the game in those moments and then when your own moments come then, try and be clinical." Michael Langan (above) came in for special praise having contributed the crucial second-half goal that helped swing the momentum further in Donegal's direction, and the impact of the midfield as a whole impressed McGuinness. "He's a great player, he's a very stylish midfielder and he's very honest. He can do it both ways and brave," he said of Langan. "He's very skilful on the ball so we're delighted to have him. Hughie (McFadden) has been immense for us all season and thankfully today Jason McGee went in there and had a big contribution in the second half. "So that's very positive. It's very important around the middle of the park to try and keep your big men healthy and hopefully we will have Caolan McGonagle back for the next day." McGuinness's counterpart Gabriel Bannigan was at a loss to explain Monaghan's capitulation. although losing the influential Ryan McAnespie to a hamstring injury after 40 minutes was a major blow. "I'm bitterly disappointed and it certainly was a game of two halves from a Monaghan perspective," Bannigan said. "We were brilliant in the first half and we were in a great position at half-time. We did talk at half-time about making sure we kept doing the things that got us into that position. "But for some reason, in the second half things started to go against us. The momentum swung with Donegal and they got oxygen from that and we just couldn't stem the tide. "When we did get opportunities, we were taking the wrong options or we were missing them."
