On the road again

Dublin fans will have to travel to see the reigning champions’ All-Ireland quarter-final next year.

Dublin’s date with the winners of Laois and Wicklow has been scheduled for 4 June in Kilkenny’s Nowlan Park, 10 years to the day since Dublin’s last Championship fixture away from Croke Park.

The decision was made at a Leinster council meeting on Wednesday night and Dublin will be hoping for an easier game than their last Championship game outside of the capital, a tight encounter at Pearse Park which in which they beat Longford by two points.

Laois and Wicklow meet on 15 May to decide who will take on Jim Gavin’s men in Kilkenny.
