Teams, Time and TV: All you need to know for Laois v Galway in the U20 Hurling championship

It will be Friday night lights for the U20 hurlers of Laois and Galway on Friday night as the battle in the Leinster U20 Hurling Quarter final but unfortunately, there will be no supporters allowed to attend the game.

It is an uncertain time for all involved but here is a run down of all you need to know about the game and how to find the best coverage.

THE TEAMS

Both sides have named their teams for the clash that is finally getting to go ahead following the easing of restrictions earlier this month.

Laois show three changes to the team that beat Carlow 1-15 to 0-15 in the opening round.

Starting on Friday night are Ciaran Burke (The Harps), John Maher (Rosenallis) and James Duggan (The Harps) while making way from that win over Carlow is the trio of Conor Cosgrove (Rosenallis), James Duggan (The Harps) and Liam Delaney (Camross).

Galway are a bit of an unknown but any team that comes out from the Tribesmen at this level, especially under Jeffrey Lynskey, are a team to be taken very seriously.
