Dublin are looking for an 11th successive Leinster football title
All-Ireland champions Dublin will begin their quest for seven-in-a-row with a Leinster quarter-final clash against Wexford or Wicklow.
Dessie Farrell s side are strong favourites to continue their domination of the province and will face winners of the first-round clash of Wexford and Wicklow, who met at the same stage last year with the Garden County running out five-point winners.
Dublin are seeking an 11th successive Leinster title and racked up 5-66 in their three provincial outings last year.
Mickey Harte’s first championship game in charge of Louth will see the Wee County take on Offaly, while the other first-round tie will see Carlow up against Longford.
