A little bit of GAA history will be made this evening.

The first-ever indoor inter-county game will take place in the country.

Leitrim and Sligo will meet in the quarter-finals of the FBD Insurance League.

The game will be held in the new NUIG Connacht Air Dome in County Mayo.

The NUIG Connacht Air Dome is located in Bekan and was opened in early December.

It's a partnership between the college of NUI Galway and Connacht GAA.

It's the largest sports dome of its type in the world and will provide a unique venue for the local community.

This evening's game will be the first intercounty match of the 2022 season.

It will also be Andy Moran's first as manager of the Leitrim senior footballers.

The 2017 Footballer of the Year, now 38, is enjoying his first venture into management.
