O'Connor Park to host Leinster senior football semi-final

O'CONNOR Park in Tullamore has been selected as one of the hosts for a Leinster Senior Football Championship semi-final later this month.

The impressive ground is the venue for the meeting of Kildare and Louth on Sunday, April 27, a clash that will be expected to attract somewhere between 5,000 and 10,000 spectators.

The other semi-final between Meath and Dublin is in O'Moore Park, Portlaoise on the same day at 4.00pm – Kildare and Louth has a 2.00pm throw in.

The semi-finals have been moved out of Croke Park this year and O'Connor Park's selection will give a great boost to Offaly GAA as well as the business community in Tullamore.
