DUBLIN will face Tyrone in an All-Ireland senior football quarter-final at Croke Park this evening.
Dessie Farrell’s side overcame Cork 1-19 to 1-16 in the preliminary quarter final to advance to the next stage.
A 0-31 to 0-18 win against Cavan in their final group stage game was enough for Tyrone to top their group book their place straight into the quarter-finals.
The Red Hands topped what many considered to be a group of death consisting of Donegal, Mayo and Cavan.
Dublin had it no easier with a second place finish in their group behind reigning champions Armagh and ahead of Galway and Derry.
Tyrone and Dublin have faced already this year in the Allianz League. The O’Neill County got the upper hand over the Liffeysiders in a 2-19 to 1-16 win.
The win unfortunately wouldn’t be enough for Tyrone to avoid relegation as they finished just behind Armagh on points scored to finish seventh.

FIERCE RIVALRY
The sides have history in the competition, playing each other three times in it since 2018.
Dublin won all three encounters, most recently in 2019 in the Super 8’s group stage in Omagh.
The Dubs came away 1-16 to 0-13 winners to top the group. Tyrone finished second in a group containing Roscommon and Cork.
Most notably however, in 2018 the sides met in the All-Ireland final as Jim Gavin’s men lifted Sam Maguire for the fourth year in a row.
Tyrone hearts were sank as they lost by six points to the team they had already faced and lost to in their Super 8’s group stage that year.
The final being a repeat of the 1995 All-Ireland final where the Dubs scraped passed the Red Hands by just a point.
Tyrone would have their special day three years later however, beating Mayo – the team that knocked Dublin out in the semi-final – in the 2021 All-Ireland final.
