Holders St Brigid’s have been paired with local rivals Padraig Pearses in the draw for the Roscommon SFC quarter-finals.

Last season’s All-Ireland club finalists, who were seeded along with Roscommon Gaels, Oran and Clann na nGael, could only draw either Pearses or last year’s runners-up Boyle as they had already met Michael Glavey’s in the group stage. As it transpired, they were pitted against Pearses in a repeat of the 2020 final. Pearses, Boyle, Glavey’s and St Faithleach’s were the four unseeded teams.

The other quarter-final fixtures are Roscommon Gaels v Boyle; Oran v Michael Glavey’s; and Clann na nGael v St Faithleach’s. The ties will be played on the weekend after next.
