Nowlan Park is, once again, in the running to host a Dublin Leinster SFC fixture.

Jim Gavin & Co played their first championship match outside of Croke Park in 10 years at the Kilkenny venue this summer, when they comfortably defeated Laois, and Leinster chairman John Horan revealed the prospect of another road trip for the Dubs is currently up for discussion.

The Leinster and All-Ireland champions are due to face the winners of Carlow and Wicklow next year.

"It hasn't been fully decided and it won't be until that night," Horan told gaa.ie. "So it's not for me to jump the gun or create any sort of speculation on it.

"It (Dublin's match against Laois in Nowlan Park) was a successful occasion. I think there was a few things in it we could have tweaked. It clashed with Cat Laughs and it was a Bank Holiday weekend.

"But, all in all, anyone who was there said they enjoyed the atmosphere of the occasion.

"I'm not saying…it's neither on nor off the table. It's up for discussion."
