Traditional Leinster rivals Dublin and Kildare will meet in a mouth-watering National Football League quarterfinal following the draw for the knockout stages of the competition. Meath are set to face Kerry in another intriguing game, while the remaining two ties have yet to be settled. Both Cork and Armagh are definitely through, but the pairings will only be finalized when Armagh have completed their program with a match against relegated Leitrim.

If, as expected, Armagh beat Leitrim, whose manager Peter McGinnity resigned last week, then they will meet Sligo and Cork will be up against Derry.

All quarterfinals will be played on Sunday, April 11.
