Linfield v Shelbourne, North v South, Irish League v League of Ireland and David Healy v Damien Duff in the Champions League with the deciding leg at Windsor Park on the week of The Open at Royal Portrush.
On the pitch this first qualifying round derby is one to relish but off the pitch the respective legs in Dublin and Belfast are going to present a serious security challenge for the PSNI and Garda.
