Laois are set for a trip across the Irish Sea to take on London after the draws for Round 2A and Round 2B of the Tailteann Cup were made on Monday.<\/p>\n

Justin McNulty got one over former Armagh team-mate Ois\u00edn McConville at the weekend, Laois beating Wicklow 1-23 to 0-19<\/a>, and they will now take on a London side that hit four first-half goals as they hammered Waterford on Sunday.<\/a><\/p>\n

Offaly’s reward for their impressive Round 1 win over Clare is a home fixture with the winner of Down or Leitrim.<\/p>\n

Conor Laverty’s side host Leitrim – managed by fellow Mourne man Steven Poacher – on Saturday evening in Newry with the loser enjoying home advantage against Carlow in Round 2B.<\/p>\n

Antrim posted a mammoth 6-17 against Carlow<\/a>, but still had only three points to spare after extra-time. Mark Doran\u2019s Saffrons will now face a Tipperary side who fended off a late Sligo fightback to advance to Round 2A.<\/p>\n

The final Round 2A clash will see Fermanagh welcome Division 3 finalists Wexford to Brewster Park.<\/p>\n

\nOffaly managers Mickey Harte (L) and Declan Kelly celebrate after their win over Clare<\/p>\n

It’s last-chance saloon for the sides in Round 2B with defeat leading to elimination.<\/p>\n

Clare, who lost 1-14 to 1-17<\/a> in Ennis against Offaly, will be back on home turf as they welcome Longford.<\/p>\n

Wicklow will hope to bounce back from that loss to Laois in Aughrim as Limerick visit. The Treaty County lost heavily to Wexford<\/a> in the first round.<\/p>\n

Waterford will be at home to Sligo, who ran out of time against Tipperary.<\/a><\/p>\n

The first side named will have home advantage in both rounds with fixtures to take place across 23\/24 May.<\/p>\n

New York enter at the preliminary quarter-final stage.<\/p>\n
