Draws made for 2022 Laois football championships

The draws have been made for all the adult Laois football championships for 2022. The draws were carried out by Laois GAA over Facebook live on Thursday evening.

It's the time of year that clubs have been waiting for and while it will be July before the championships kick off, nothing whets the appetite more than seeing who you will be coming up against when it gets down to the real business of the championship.

The Senior and Intermediate championships will be run as previous years in a knockout format with a second chance.

There will be 13 clubs in the Junior 'A' grade split into four groups with the top two in each progressing to the quarter finals.

12 teams will be after Junior 'B' glory with the teams in four groups with only the top team coming out of those and making their way to a semi final.

There is also a massive entry in the Junior 'C' competition and this will be a straight knockout championship.
