Agree with the previous posters, Castletown will be sick.
Some score to put up while playing with a sweeper.
Their use of ball and comfort levels on the ball (particularly inside their own 65) was very impressive.
If they can achieve a level of consistency and settle on starting positions for some of their main men they can definitely push on.

Abbeyleix very very good again. There is major potential there. They are ahead of the rest in chasing down the big 3.
Rosenallis have possibly reached a limit in their upward journey.

6 would be very harsh! I think playing the same teams all the time would be a bit of drag too.

If it goes to 10, something along the Kilkenny system could be used?
Groups of 5.
4 games.

1 & 1 into semi finals
2v3 & 2v3 in quarter finals
4v5 & 4v5 into relegation semis

Or just leave 4 out of it.
Gone from championship but safe.

If it stays at 8, I think the groups need to be scrapped!

I think Abbeyleix also.
They are the makings of a fine side. Likely to be knocking around the last 4 for the foreseeable.
The other game will certainly be double figures.
Could well be 25+

Castletown, like The Harps & Borris Kilcotton (and possibly even Rosenallis) have not been good.
Those teams need to the pressure of an 8 team championship to improve or go down.
Those who remember the championships of the 1990s into the early 2000s, the likes of Clonad and Errill were very poor but surviving because there was 10 or 12 teams.
It did nothing to improve the standard or competitive nature.

8 teams is what we have. Max.

Leave it at 8 imo. Rename premier intermediate to intermediate & so on thus bringing in junior D. Also would like to scrap the group system - as round 3 this year was largely meaningles games, go back to system few years ago - winners group & losers group. I would seed the semi finalists. Just my two pence worth.

100%.

Sarcasm ffs.
Stick to the exposés.

Groups of 5 = more meaningless games + a bigger safety net.
This can't be good.

We don't have 10 Senior teams.
Possibly 9- but 9 doesn't work well.

Leave it at 8 and go back to the format of a few years ago with a draw after every round.
Current system is killing interest and reducing competitiveness.
I cannot understand the logic in going from what we had to what we have.

I'd agree with rebranding back to Intermediate, Junior A etc.

I hadn't heard that Trumera lost their management?
Big win for them.
Traditionally those 3 clubs would be ferocious rivals. Serious achievement for Trumera to beat the other two combined!

Camross looked poor. Unusual.
No game for 5 weeks now.
Will need to plan carefully, but they have been on this ride before.

Borris Kilcotton stood up in fairness.

Goes to show that things are never as good or as bad as you might think. Don't overreact.

Abbeyleix & Rosenallis should be a right good game. Great first year back for Abbeyleix. They'll build on this.
They should shade the quarter final too.

I still think The Harps will have too much for Borris Kilcotton. Borris lack of strength in depth is shocking.

Very little interest across the county in this weekends proceedings.
Sad state of affairs.

You could see Camross doing a right number on Borris Kilcotton.
Could get very very bad unless something has changed drastically over the past 10 days or so.
That would be a bad note to be going into a relegation play off in, with almost no time to do anything about it. I don't think BK could be in a worse position to be honest.
Camross will take satisfaction in driving this one home.

The Harps could go ok against Rathdowney Errill. It'll be a lot closer than CB v Rosenallis.
That one could hit 20 points.

Hard to call Abbeyleix v Castletown.
Unusually, I agree with Laois Today! Abbeyleix have a little bit more going from them. More fluid, more mobile and more capable of hitting a good score.
They could stretch it out to 7 or 8 points.

Fairly correct so far!

Satisfying evening for Kieran Kelly. Serious job done with Killeshin it seems while his former club Ratheniska took a tumble on Thursday evening. Contrasting weekends ahead for both clubs

Did PR dispose of Kieran?

Yes in fairness they did work hard. And it is an upward step mentally as much as anything. Missing a few too. I just think BK's poor form is the bigger story.
