After three rounds of football, the knockout stages of the DKIT Sport Junior Football Championship are finally upon as, with the draw held at the Louth GAA Centre of Excellence in Darver last night.
The marquee draw of the contest is the prospect of the in-form Lannleire taking on last year's runners up Glyde Rangers.
Nicky Malone's Dunleer have been the form team in the Junior Championship this season. They topped Group 4 following impressive wins over Na Piarsaigh, Sean McDermotts and Naomh Malachi, while the Tallanstown men defeated Annaghminnon Rovers but were defeated by St Nicholas and Naomh Fionnbarra.
That win over Gylde saw the Barrs top Group 3, meaning they now find find themselves with a tough tie too, having been drawn to play what looks to be the strongest of the second seeds in John Mitchels.
The Ballybailie men lost out in the first round to Oliver Plunketts, 1-9 to 1-5, before earning their place in the quarter finals courtesy of a victory over Westerns, 0-14 to 0-7. Naomh Fionnbarra finished the group stages with three wins from three.
Oliver Plunketts are another team who finished the group stages undefeated and they have been drawn to play Cuchulainn Gaels. They are in the quarters for just the second time in their history, the first since 2021, having earned their spot with a comfortable victory over Dowdallshill.
The final draw sees Wolfe Tones taking on Naomh Malachi. The Drogheda club had a resurgent season last year in their run to Semi-Finals and in 2023 had decisive wins over Cuchulainn Gaels and Dowdallshill. The Courtbane men finished second in Group 4, having defeated Na Piarsaigh and Sean McDermotts.
