Carlow’s 2023 season begins on Wednesday night with their O’Byrne Cup opener.
Niall Carew’s side welcome Meath to Barrowside as preparations for their Allianz National Football League Division 4 campaign enter full swing.
Throw-in at Netwatch Cullen Park is 8pm.
They then travel to Pearse Park on Saturday for a clash with Longford before wrapping up the pre-season competition against Laois.

They will then look forward to a Leinster championship meeting with neighbours Wicklow later in the year.
However, the foundation for the the league and championship begins this week.
