Laois' Tailteann Cup semi-final fixture confirmed

Laois and Antrim will be the first match of a double header of Tailteann Cup semi-finals this weekend in Croke Park.

The two sides will compete for a place in the final from 2pm on Sunday, June 23 with the game being shown live on RTÉ.

Sligo and Down, the other two semi-finalists, will get their game underway at 4pm.

There had been talks that the two games would be played on Saturday as opposed to Sunday with Wexford wanting their quarter-finals to be played on Sunday instead as they're due to host the Feile this Saturday. That motion was defeated at the meeting as they needed to get 60% of the vote but only got 57%.

The Tailteann Cup final will be played on Saturday, July 13 with it being a curtain raiser for one of the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship semi-finals in Croke Park.
