DERRY will face title holders Tyrone in the big match of the 2017 Ulster Football Championship quarter-finals.
It will be a tough test for Damian Barton’s men but will have some advantage as it is a home tie.
Following Thursday night’s provincial draws, 2015 winners Monaghan will play Fermanagh in the preliminary round, with the winners taking on Cavan.
The beaten finalists in 2016, Donegal, will play Antrim while Down have been handed a last-eight clash against neighbours Armagh.
Tyrone won the 2016 Ulster title by beating Donegal by two points.
