Midlands Footballers Set To Star For Leinster In New Rules Exhibition

Thursday, 17 October 2024 08:25

Eight inter-county players from Laois, Offaly and Westmeath will line out for Leinster.

Four players from Laois, two from Westmeath, and two from Offaly are part of the Leinster inter-provincial gaelic football team that will be trialling new rules put forward by the Football Review Committee.

For the O'Moore County, Leinster have Killian Roche, Mark Barry, Paul Kingston, and Evan O'Carroll.

While Westmeath Ray Connellan and Ronan Wallace are joined by Peter Cunningham and Lee Pearson from Offaly.

Nine members of Armagh's All Ireland senior football winning squad, including Aidan Forker, Rian O'Neill and Oisin Conaty - will be part of the Ulster panel.

Aidan O'Shea and Cillian McDaid part of the Connacht selection.

The Munster squad includes Kerry's Tadhg Morley and Diarmuid O'Connor.

There are seven new rules which will be on show - including teams being required to keep 3 players in the opposing half at all times, a solo and go when a foul is committed, 4 points for a goal and 2 points when a score is kicked from outside the 40 metre arc.

There is also a rule whereby a goalkeeper can only receive a pass inside the large rectangle or beyond the half way line.

The final takes place on Saturday.
