Inter-County GAA Set For Return In Early January

Tuesday, 21 December 2021 11:27

Teams returned to training in the last couple of weeks.

Laois, Offaly and Westmeath senior footballers and hurlers return to action on the second weekend in January. 

John Maughan's Offaly start out with a home tie against Dublin in O'Connor Park on Saturday the 8th at 2pm.

At the same time the Billy Sheehan era in Laois begins in Enniscorthy against Wexford, while Jack Cooney's fourth year at the helm of Westmeath's footballers begins with a tie against Kildare in Newbridge. 

The small ball action is back on Sunday the 9th of January. 

Michael Fennelly's Offaly make the trip to Ballinasloe to take on Henry Shefflin's Galway at 2pm. 

Cheddar Plunkett will be hopeful of seeing some progress in the O'Moore county hurlers against Wexford in Rathdowney at the same time.
