The four squads have been announced for this weekend’s Allianz GAA Football Inter Provincial Series at Croke Park. 

The Leinster squad is led by Dublin’s nine-time All-Ireland winning history makers James McCarthy and Stephen Cluxton with 11 counties represented for the boys in green. 

Armagh’s All-Ireland winners have a strong presence in the Ulster ranks and are led by Paddy Burns, Oisín Conaty, Aidan Forker, and Rian and Oisín O’Neill. 

Connacht’s squad includes players from London and New York and is led by Mayo’s Aidan O’Shea and Galway’s Cillian McDaid. 

Kerry’s experienced duo Tadhg Morley and Diarmuid O’Connor headline the Munster squad. 

Friday night will see Connacht face Leinster at 6pm followed by the meeting of Ulster and Munster at 8pm. On Saturday the opening match sees the two beaten teams from Friday night meeting at 5.30pm followed by the clash of the two Friday night winners at 7.30pm. 

The backdrop to the event is the trialing of the seven core enhancements put forward by the Football Review Committee and the subject of a special congress at the end of November. 

Tickets are available from GAA.ie. Friday night’s games will be shown live on TG4 and Saturday’s games will be shown live on RTÉ.
