The draws for the Laois GAA juvenile hurling and football championships were made in the Midlands Park Hotel last night.
The draws were officiated by Juvenile Chairman Alan Langton alongside Laois minor hurling manager Liam Dunne and minor football boss Mark Bates.
Also present were Laois GAA Chairman Peter O’Neill, Secretary Niall Handy, Juvenile Secretary Sean Connolly, PRO Paul Dargan and Dara Cruise of the Midlands Park Hotel.
So far in 2020, there has been virtually no juvenile GAA action due to Coronavirus.
A handful of clubs would have participated in the U-13 and U-15 Leinster leagues in the early part of the year before they, and everything else, was called to a halt.
With teams now back training, matches are due to get underway at the end of this month as teams now know who they will be facing.
The night also saw the re-drawing of the U-20 hurling and football championships.
These had been on a group basis before but now revert to straight knock-out but the dates of the games have yet to be confirmed.
They will however take place in either October or November.
