Armagh's Rian O'Neill and Stephen Cluxton of Dublin.

Squads named for GAA interpro games to trial new football rules

The games take place in Croke Park on Friday and Saturday.

THE SQUADS HAVE been announced for this weekend’s football interprovincial series at Croke Park.

Four provincial squads will be in action as seven core enhancements put forward by the Football Review Committee are trialed ahead of a special congress at the end of November.

Dublin’s nine-time All-Ireland winners James McCarthy and Stephen Cluxton will both be involved in a Leinster squad which sees 11 counties represented.

Current All-Ireland champions Armagh have a strong representation in the Ulster selection, with Paddy Burns, Oisín Conaty, Aidan Forker and Rian and Oisín O’Neill all included.

Mayo’s Aidan O’Shea and Galway’s Cillian McDaid are in the Connacht squad, which also includes players from London and New York.

Kerry duo Tadhg Morley and Diarmuid O’Connor are among five Kerry players named in the Munster squad.

The first game of the weekend sees Connacht play Leinster at 6pm on Friday evening, before Ulster take on Munster at 8pm.

The two beaten teams will then be back out for Saturday’s opening match at 5.30pm, before Friday’s two winners go head-t-head at 7.30pm.

Friday’s games will be live on TG4 while the Saturday games will be shown on RTÉ.
