Westmeath to face Wicklow in Tailteann Cup last eight

Westmeath have been drawn against Wicklow in the quarter-finals of the Tailteann Cup. As group winners, Wicklow will have home advantage and Westmeath will have to travel to Aughrim.

The game is expected to be played next Sunday, June 15 with fixture details to be confirmed later today.

Wicklow claimed a surprise win over Westmeath in last year's Leinster championship - a week after the Lake County won the Division 3 league final - and this draw provides an opportunity to avenge that defeat to Oisín McConville's charges.

Westmeath recorded an emphatic victory over Laois in their preliminary quarter-final at TEG Cusack Park last Saturday and Dermot McCabe's side will now be hoping to build on that by taking a step further.

The draw which took place this morning on RTÉ Radio 1 saw the four first-placed teams from the group stages drawn against the winners of the preliminary quarter-finals. Repeat pairings from the group stages were not permitted which meant Westmeath could not be drawn against Limerick.

The standout fixture in the quarter-finals is the meeting of Kildare and Offaly in Newbridge, a repeat of this year's Division 3 league final. The other quarter-finals are Fermanagh vs Sligo and Limerick vs Wexford.
