All roads lead to the Super 8s now.

The Round four qualifier draw took place on Monday morning and now the Super 8s is edging closer than ever. With Mayo knocked out in Round Three, it's fair to say the qualifiers has lost a bit of its allure but it's going to be a thriller none the less. Kildare have finally come alive. The likes of Cork and Roscommon have points to prove after provincial final disappointments while Fermanagh, Laois and Armagh will all be out to extend their journeys. Monaghan and Tyrone are still lurking and even though they've shipped beatings they're as dangerous as they've ever been. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/1013691948241219584 Waiting for them all are the country's four best teams so far this year. Galway and Kerry in one group and Donegal and Dublin in the other. The Super 8s promises to be a feast of football. Kicking off on the weekend July 14/15, from then on there will three rounds of the country's very best teams slugging it out. The players will be under pressure, but by God, spectators are in for a treat. Here's how Monday morning's qualifier draw panned out.
Roscommon v Armagh Fermanagh v Kildare Cork v Tyrone Laois v Monaghan
This has cleared things up regarding the Super 8s groups we're going to see.

Super 8s Group One

Galway and Kerry will be joined by

Super 8s Group Two

The GAA will be delighted that Kildare won't be dragging Dublin down to St Conleth's Park. Dublin, meanwhile, will have it tough because should Tyrone defeat Cork, they'll have a trip up to to Healy Park, Omagh. This is what the Super 8s are for. The winners of Roscommon Armagh will also be a tester for them/
