Offaly followed by Laois will both take on Galway in the next week.
Both Laois and Offaly will benefit greatly from being tested by Galway in their next respective Walsh Cup fixtures, according to Midlands 103 commentator Jack Nolan.
The two counties met in Portlaoise last night with the O'Moore County emerging as winners by two clear goals.
Offaly will welcome Galway to Glenisk O'Connor Park on Sunday with Laois getting a week off before heading to Duggan Park.
Nolan says the connacht side will provide the perfect primer ahead of their league campaigns:
