Kildare set for Carlow reunion as draw for 2019 O'Byrne Cup is made

Kildare are set for a reunion with Carlow at the beginning of 2019 after the Lilywhites were drawn in the same group as Turlough O'Brien's side in the O'Byrne Cup.

Also in Kildare's group is Offaly and Westmeath, with this being the only four-team group.

Dublin have received a bye to the semi-finals of the competition.

Group 1: Carlow, Westmeath, Offaly, Kildare

Group 2: Longford, Wicklow, Louth

Group 3: Laois, Meath, Wexford

Bye: Dublin
