Some of the best young footballers from Laois, Offaly and Westmeath will be in action in Newry.

TUS Midlands are hoping to book a place in the Sigerson Cup Quarter Finals this evening.

They're in Newry to take on Queen's University Belfast this evening after securing a last gasp win over SETU Carlow last week.

Coralstown/Kinnegad's Jack Torpey scored that late goal and is likely to feature again.

In terms of midlands county representation, Westmeath lead the way on the TUS team, with Torpey being joined by Brandon Kelly, Shane Fleming, Matthew Whittaker, Brendan Killian, Brian Cooney, Luke Seery and David Corrigan.

There's three Offaly footballers on the panel; David Dempsey, Daragh Flynn, while Clara's Cormac Delaney captained the side last time out.

Westmeath's also represented on the home side, with St Loman's Fionn O'Hara on the Queen's panel this year.

Tonight's contest was originally scheduled to take place at the Dub Pavillion on the university grounds in Belfast but has been moved to Pairc Esler due to the pitch being unplayable.

Throw in is set for 7pm.

Elsewhere UCD face Ulster University at the same time, Maynooth University host UL at 8, and the first game of the day sees St Mary's playing TU Dublin in Darver at 5.30.
