League final repeats as Tailteann Cup quarter-final draw made
Kildare and Offaly will meet in a repeat of the Division 3 final, following Monday morning's Tailteann Cup quarter-final draw. On that occasion, Mickey Harte's side were victorious at Croke Park, but the Lilywhites will have home advantage this time around having topped their group, with the Faithful County comfortably defeating New York in Saturday's preliminary quarter-final. One of Limerick or Wexford will qualify for the semi-finals of the competition for the first time ever after they were paired together in what is a repeat of the Division 4 final won by the Treaty County. Limerick topped their group and will have home advantage, to be confirmed later today, with Wexford getting past Antrim to book their last-eight place. There is another Leinster derby when Oisín McConville's Wicklow host one of the favourites for the competition in Westmeath. Dermot McCabe's side had to go through the preliminary quarter-final route after a shock loss to Limerick, but the 3-26 they scored against Laois at the weekend suggests they have been able to quickly get back on track. The final quarter-final will see Sligo making the short trip to Enniskillen to take on Fermanagh. Tony McEntee's side were given a firm examination by Carlow at the weekend, but came through.

What time and TV channel is Offaly v New York on today in the Tailteann Cup?
Offaly lost to London last year in the Tailteann Cup, so they will be wary of another exiles side coming to O'Connor Park. Surely lightning can't strike twice? You'd imagine Mickey Harte would be too wise to allow that. Offaly lost to Laois last weekend, shipping 3-18. They beat Waterford by five and Wicklow by eight points. Their extra match practice should tell here, but they need an upturn in form. Interestingly, New York's former Kildare forward, Jack Robinson, is listed on the bench despite his five points against Galway in their Connacht Quarter-final defeat. Where is the game being played? The game is being played at O'Connor Park, Tullamore. What time is throw-in? Throw in is at 2pm. Can I watch the game on TV? No, the game is not on TV. Is the game being streamed online? Yes, the game is being live streamed on GAA+ Betting Odds: Offaly: 1/14 Draw: 16/1 New York: 17/2

Nigel Dunne: Case study should be sought on Derry's demise
It was in the spring of last year that Derry were seen as genuine All-Ireland SFC contenders. Their stock was on the rise and the expectation was of a continued upward trajectory, this after winning a Division 1 league crown and consecutive Ulster titles. Mickey Harte was at the helm, an experienced hand to keep things moving. And then came a crash of sorts. Donegal proved too good in that 2024 provincial quarter-final. The All-Ireland series saw just one victory and their season ended after a most underwhelming effort against Kerry. The new season saw the arrival of the well-regarded Paddy Tally as coach. Nothing so far has happened to indicate that Derry have rediscovered their spark. Relegation to Division 2 and a ten-point defeat against Donegal in their Ulster opener offer some grim reading on the report card. And on Saturday, it's a date with All-Ireland champions Armagh in the All-Ireland series as they begin their quest to arrest their alarming slide. It's 6 April since Derry fell to that loss in Ballybofey. We haven't heard much from the camp since and you can bet that they shuddered at the prospect of also facing Galway and Dublin in their Sam Maguire group. Speaking on the latest edition of the RTÉ GAA Podcast, former Offaly star Nigel Dunne expressed a sense of bafflement as to Derry's fall from such lofty heights. "I think there should be a case study done on them," he remarked. "What has happened in Derry? I've no idea how a team with back-to-back Ulster titles, who won a brilliant Division 1 title against Dublin and were at a stage where they looked like they could take the next step can then fall off a cliff. And I mean fall of a cliff in such dramatic fashion. It's incredible; I don't think I've ever seen such a steep fall. "They have played 14 league and championship games since (winning Division 1 in March 2024) and they've only won one game in regulation time, that was against Westmeath and later won against Mayo, but after penalties." The clash at the Box-It Athletic Grounds will see Derry back in action for the first time in 48 days, more than ample time for the Oak Leaf men to refocus, says Dunne. "It's the quietest I've heard from the Derry camp, or the noise around it, in 18 months. "It's probably a good thing from their point of view because there was a stage there where there were stories coming out every second day. They needed the time to reassess. "Armagh will bring a performance. They have only lost one championship game in regulation time in three years. They are defiant. Everything that Kieran McGeeney was as a player has transferred on to them. Att the moment, Derry just don't have that consistency." With Chrissy McKaigue retired and Gareth McKinless out injured, there is now a fear that other established Derry names may miss out on fully realising their potential, a view echoed by the now Offaly minor selector. "They spent years building up the confidence going from Division 4 to Division 1, to get the inner belief that they could compete at the top table and then it's all washed way," Dunne added. "Derry have the ability and can fall back on what they had in the not too distant past. You hope they would have used the time since the Donegal game to find that spark again. For Shane McGuigan, Conor Glass and Brendan Rogers, they are generational talents, their careers could go by and ultimately be unfulfilled. That is nearly a sin."
