Back to business with draws for provincial championships

A WEEK later than planned the draws for the 2010 provincial championships will be made this evening in Croke Park and shown live on RTÉ Two (8.25pm).

The format will be much the same as last year, when the Leinster hurling championship was the focus of attention because of the addition of Galway and Antrim for the first time.

And this year, there will be an added interest because of the participation of Carlow, who were last included in 2004 – when they were hammered 4-19 to 0-8 by Laois.
