The Leinster Council last night announced that Dublin's quarter final against Wicklow of Laois in the 2016 Leinster Championship quarter final will take place in Nowlan Park, Kilkenny.

It will be ten years since Dublin last played a provincial championship game away from Croke Park. In 2006, Dublin defeated Longford by two points in a packed Pearse Park.
