This morning's draw for the Tailteann Cup quarter-finals produced some exciting match-ups between provincial rivals.
Leitrim will host Sligo, Fermanagh will host Cavan, Carlow will host Westmeath, and Offaly will host New York.
The matches will be played this weekend, June 4/5, with the dates, times, and venues to be announced later today by the CCCC.
Offaly manager, John Maughan, reacted to the draw on RTE Radio 1 this morning.
He said: "We're looking forward to the fanfare and excitement of New York coming to Tullamore. I'm very, very happy to have a home game first of all. The Tailteann Cup is a great competition and we've two wins in it now, a good victory over Wicklow yesterday and last weekend down in Wexford. So we're delighted to be progressing in it.
“It would just be wonderful to get to Croke Park. We'll do our research on New York, we'll treat them with great respect. We're eagerly looking forward to the game."
