Wexford test for Coláiste Mhuire in Leinster Schools SFC

Coláiste Mhuire, Mullingar have avoided big guns St Pat's, Navan and St Mary's, Edenderry in the draw for the second round of the Leinster Colleges senior football 'A' championship, which took place last night.

However, the College Street side – who last won a Leinster 'A' title in 1983 – face an equally tricky trip to Carlow on Saturday week, when they will meet St Peter's of Wexford for a place in the quarter-final draw.

Moate Community School, meanwhile, have been drawn against the famed Navan football nursery. While holders St Pat's – who knocked Moate out of the competition last year – will be the favourites to progress, Moate head to Navan eager to set the record straight.

Elsewhere St Joseph's, Rochfortbridge have a tough away visit at Ardscoil na Trionóide, Athy, while Marist College, Athlone – Westmeath's best performers in the competition last year – host Dublin's Castleknock Community College.

Marist impressively dismantled Mullingar's Coláiste Mhuire in 2013, and edged Carlow's Knockbeg College in the last eight, before ultimately losing to St Mary's, Edenderry in the Leinster semi-final.

All second round draws of take place on Saturday February 1 at 2pm, subject to confirmation.
