Sligo senior gaelic footballers will be one of the top four seeds for Tuesday’s Tailteann Cup draw.
Tony McEntee’s side will be in the same pot as Down, Fermanagh and Kildare when the draw for the group phase of the All-Ireland Tier 2 competition is made.
Andy Moran’s Leitrim will be in the second grouping of seeds, which also includes Laois, Offaly and Antrim.
The draw will be made on Tuesday afternoon at 3pm – and will be livestreamed on gaa.ie.
Despite having played each other already in the Connacht Championship, Sligo and Leitrim could be drawn together in the same group on Tuesday.
The 16 participating Counties will be drawn into four separate groups.
Teams are seeded based on their finishing positions in the Allianz Leagues and each group will feature four teams (each group consisting of a 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th seed).
New York will enter the Tailteann Cup at the Preliminary Quarter-Final stage.
The opening round of matches will be played on the weekend May 11th and 12th.

The draw for the group stage of the All-Ireland Sam Maguire Cup will also be made on Tuesday.
As Ulster finalists, Donegal are assured of being either the No 1 or No 2 seeds in this draw.
The Provincial Champions will each be a first seed, with the provincial runners-up being second seeds.
The third seeds will be the four highest-placed teams from the 2024 Allianz Leagues (who have not qualified for their provincial finals).
The fourth seeds will include the next four highest-placed teams from the conclusion of this year’s Allianz Leagues.
Teams who are due to meet in a Provincial Final (seeds 1 and 2) cannot be in the same group.
However, teams who have already played each other earlier in this year’s championships can be drawn to the same groups.
