They'll face Kildare in the last eight next Wednesday, with Longford facing Offaly, who beat Wicklow by 18 points to 2-5.
SOCCER
Liverpool manager Arne Slot has defended his decision to leave Mo Salah on the bench as his team slumped to a 2-nil defeat against Paris Saint-Germain last night.
It leaves them up against it going into the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final.
Slot says there was no point bringing Salah on - as they had no chance of scoring.
Elsewhere, Atletico Madrid ended a 25-game winless run at Camp Nou, beating Barcelona 2-0 in the first leg of their tie.
Two English sides compete in the Europa League play-offs later on.
It's away first legs for both, with Aston Villa the visitors to Bologna.
While Nottingham Forest are in Portugal to face Porto.
Both matches kick off at 8pm.
