The 2023 All-Ireland U20FC throws in with five floodlit games in Leinster this evening.
Holders Kildare welcome Westmeath to Hawkfield, while last year’s runners-up Dublin travel to Baltinglass to face Wicklow. Longford host Meath in Clonguish, while 2021 All-Ireland champions Offaly head to Stabannon to take on Louth.
The other game is a local derby between Carlow and Laois at Netwatch Cullen Park. All ties get underway at 7.30pm. In a change from previous years, the Leinster U20FC will be played on a round-robin basis which means each team is guaranteed at least three games.
The 2023 Munster MHC also commences this evening with Clare meeting All-Ireland champions Tipperary in Shannon and Waterford hosting Limerick in Fraher Field. Both games have 7pm starting times.
