The game of the round will be the repeat of the 2011 final when Crosshaven host Monivea. Crosshaven won that tie 17-9 and the Connacht side who lost season’s final to Tullamore will be anxious to go one better this time.

Skibbereen making their debut in the competition will entertain Enniscorthy and Kanturk have been favoured with a home tie against Westport.

First Round ties will be played on Saturday 27th October with a 2.30 kick off.
