The teams have been named for both our Senior Hurlers and Senior Footballers opening round of the Leinster Championship.

Our Senior Hurlers take on Offaly in Glenisk O'Connor Park, Tullamore on Saturday (6:30pm).

While our Senior Footballers take on Wicklow in Aughrim on Sunday (3:00pm).

Check out our pre-match preview here.

The game forms part of a double header, with the Dublin Camogie team also facing Offaly Camogie in the Leinster Quarter Final beforehand at Glenisk O'Connor park (throw-in at 4pm).
