Laois native Eddie Kinsella has been selected as the referee for the Cadbury All-Ireland Under-21 Football Championship final between Cavan and Galway at Croke Park on Sunday, May 1.
Among the Courtwood clubman's other high-profile appointments so far have been the All-Ireland MFC final, and the delayed Leinster Club Senior Football Championship final between Rhode and Kilmacud Crokes earlier this year.
It is another proud moment for Laois GAA, following on from Liam O'Neill appointment GAA President-elect last Friday and the qualification of both the men's and Ladies football teams for their respective league finals.
The Under-21 decider between Cavan and Galway will take place at 2pm as the curtain raiser to the Allianz Hurling League Division 1 final between Kilkenny and Dublin.
Both games will be televised live on TG4.
