A couple of games from 2020 are still outstanding.
Laois GAA have made the draw for the 2021 football championships.
Remarkably round one of the SFC has thrown up a repeat of the 2020 semi-final which is outstanding, Ballyfin against Portarlington and is invariably the pick of the round.
The system for senior and intermediate is unchanged with a straight knockout draw and a back door format meaning neither of this years final four will be knocked out should they lose but it adds a bit of spice to the tie nonetheless.
Perennial champions Portlaoise begin their attempt to regain the top prize against Courtwood.
Other notable ties include Emo V O'Dempseys and The Heath v Graiguecullen.
The Junior 'A' and 'B' grades will both have group phases followed by a last eight and last four scenario, while Junior C like the senior and intermediate ranks are straight knockout.
