Yeah, it's a bit messy bringing in head-to-head results for this. One question though, how did we get Portlaoise as the semi-final venue? Surely we should have to travel to Down considering they played us in Portlaoise already, or failing that a neutral venue for the Semi?

Quote from: Galtee1 on March 05, 2024, 03:46:49 PMHearing of discontent within the squad. Some hearsay around the county that Mahers new addition to the management team walked from the setup in the last few weeks.
Any truth to this?
All good in the camp . Situation being overblown. 
Hope so, the last thing we need now is behind the scenes distractions. We really need to win JMD this year, otherwise Offaly will be overtaking us again.

What's all this about then? Is there backroom unrest, why?

Carlow on Saturday evening, February 24th will be a stern test. At least we have them in Portlaoise. They have scored 3-22 in each of their two wins to date, conceding 19pts in each tie also. That's a winning margin of 12pts per game. Laois have won on average by 7.5pts in our opening two games. So, we really need a strong performance when compared to what we've put in so far in the opening two games.

Quote from: Mossy Bruce on February 10, 2024, 07:36:11 PMI just saw the results for the Down v. Kerry match. What the hell.
Very surprising. Thats two losses now by Kerry and they're rooted to the bottom of the table.

Laois 2-18 V 0-17 Down.
Thought alot of Laois' play was lethargic and only when Down drew level with around 12 minutes left did we step up a gear and push on. Ryan Mullaney and Martin Phelan both especially off the boil today. Cody Comerford was quite lively when he came on. The wind was a big factor today and thankfully it drifted a fair few of Down's efforts wide. Wouldn't be overly enthused with what I saw in OMP today. Referee was handing out reds far too easily as there wasn't much niggling in the game really. Kildare away won't be a cakewalk looking back on today's performance.

The Harps and Abbeyleix served up some minor final today, eleven goals really gave great entertainment. Can see these two squads dominating for a few years yet.
It wasn't to be Abbeyleix's day and kinda bit deflating for them to lose both games by margins of 12pts and 16pts.
Thought Camross were very commanding in the senior final and the hooking, harrying and passing from them was clinical. I thought that they fine weather would have suited Abbeyleix more but the first touch, wasted wides and wayward passing killed their ambitions.
Whilst disappointed today one would hope that the Abbeyleix squad will want to go harder next year and get back into the final to redeem themselves. Abbeyleix have a window of a few years to grab a title as the top teams are regressing and the younger teams are progressing.

A good game tonight and some lovely hurling from both sides. Both goalkeepers looked nervous at times with a few unforced errors that cost The Harps a goal and almost cost BK one also. PJ Scully was a class act for BK and has some skill, thought O'Connor for the Harps was exciting to watch - a good prospect for the future if he keeps that level of play up.
While the Harps scored 0-28, I thought in general their forwards were lacking bite overall. Didn't take their chances which should have raised at least two green flags. Borris Kilcotton were no great shakes at the back and with a bit more of a physical presence up front Harps could have bagged a few goals. No.24 a big difference when he came on in bringing that needed physicality which saw them power back and win it out.
Borris Kilcotton will certainly be bitter over how their year collapsed around them, I hope for the sakes of the club it doesn't fester and totally fall apart in the boardroom too. Laois needs all the strongholds playing at the top level and there is certainly the case for making a ten club SHC in the coming couple of years.

The guy seems to be vey highly qualified. If he gets a few years in the post, you'd be hopeful he could get things moving in the right direction.

Absolutely. A great appointment and it couldn't come at a better time. Keegan is well experienced and will have a strong network of contacts too. Hopefully he will bring others in on the scene too and create something good. But the County Board will need to back him with proper funding. Knowing Keegans nature he'll make a strong investment case in games development that the county board won't be able to back away from. Delighted for him, hope it goes well for him.

Good result in Tralee but as expected Offaly threw the Cullen Park game. Hope Carlow win it out over that.
