The draw for the All-Ireland football championship has taken place, with Derry facing a potential group of death, with the winners of the Connacht final and the losers of the Ulster final joining them.

Galway host Mayo on Sunday, with the winners in group one, alongside whoever loses the Ulster final on Sunday week between Donegal and Armagh.

Group three will contain the winners of the Ulster final, joined by the losers of the Munster final between Kerry and Clare, with Cork and Tyrone also in the group.
