For as much as the Tailteann Cup is a step into the unknown, the regional division used in the draw has ensured we get some very familiar fixtures.
Chief amongst them is the meeting of Cavan and a Down side in turmoil.
Here are the main details around the game:

This one will take place on Saturday May 28 with throw-in set for 2 pm. Kingspan Breffni Park is the venue.
What TV channel is it on and can I stream it?
Unfortunately it doesn't appear to be on television and is also not listed among GAA GO's selection for the weekend.
What are the teams?
No team news as of yet.
What are the odds?
Tournament favourites Cavan are 1/7 while the visitors are 5/1. You can back the two sides to finish level after 70 minutes at 14/1.
Tailteann context
After their narrow loss to Donegal, Mickey Graham insisted his players will give the secondary competition their all and, speaking on BBC NI's Championship coverage, Oisin McConville feels the Breffnimen will take all the beating.
“They’ll be disappointed with the situation they’ve left themselves in,” said McConville.
“Tactically, they got everything right. They probably didn’t have the quality to see it right out at the end.
"If they can have the same motivation going into the Tailteann Cup for the games they play, then they’ll win the Tailteann Cup.”
He added: “It is the first year of the Tailteann Cup and nobody really knows how it is going to be marketed, how popular it is going to be, how players are going to react, how serious counties are going to take it?
“I think if it is done right, players will buy into it. I think that Cavan squad have all the hallmarks of a side who would buy into it.”
