The times and venues for the preliminary quarter-finals in the Tailteann Cup have been announced.

All matches will take place on Saturday, June 10th.

The first match will commence in Glenisk O'Connor Park between Offaly and Wexford at 4pm.

Wexford secured a spot in the preliminary quarter-finals after a dramatic win over Leitrim to secure a third-spot finish in the group to advance to the quarter-finals.

The game could have gone either way, with the match level with only six minutes remaining of normal time. 35-year-old, Ben Brosnan secured a dramatic stoppage-time goal to make sure his team advanced. The game finished 1-16 to 1-12.

Offaly claimed home advantage for the draw after finishing second in Group 1, their latest result, a 2-25 to 2-9 defeat to group winners Cavan.

As expected New York will enter the competition this weekend. The US side will face Carlow in Newatch Cullen Park at 5pm and the game will be streamed on GAAGo.

Tipperary were the unlucky third-place finishers who were eliminated to make way for Johnny McGeeney's side. They were eliminated as the worst-performing third-placed team.

Elsewhere Fermanagh will travel down to face Laois in Brewster Park. Whilst Down will host Longford in Páirc Esler, with the game being live-streamed on GAAGO.

All four of the Tailteann Cup group winners, Cavan, Meath, Limerick and Antrim will skip past this round of fixtures. The four teams have gone straight into the quarter-finals and will face the winners of this weekend's games.
