Spink have ballinakill with them too. A good example of hurling only and football only teams working together. Probably should be in div 2 as most of their players are up to 13. Div 3 is for weaker non amalgamation teams or second teams.  Port and st Paul's hurlers going in with Clonad makes sense as they are primarily football and are struggling for numbers at hurling. But will young footballers go the opposite way or what way does that work
Most of the RPG lads who play football are kicking ball with the Heath,Portarlington/Pauls had entered a team at u15 for the league,they didn't have the numbers and came in with us for the u15 championship,it's on a once off basis at the minute to be reviewed next year.
Who are RPG?

Raheen Parish Gaels =Clonad, Shanahoe, Colt, and Ballypickas.
Port/ St.Paul's got to u13 league final, and have a good, strong team. Unfortunately, the football club doesn't do much to encourage them.

That would be an understatement,the hurling side of the club are looking to put a ball wall in place and it was shot down

Midlands Park Hotel Under 13 C Football Championship Group A Round 1
The Rock 0-0 Spink 10-20

This got me thinking - what is the biggest margin on record that people can recall in a match? 50 points in the match above is some going.
I once played a hurling match - and I use the term "played" very loosely - with a team from Portarlington called Shamrocks and we got beaten 10-27 to 1-0 by Rathdowney.
Biggest cheer of the day was for our goal.😊
Well I could keep it above
But then it wouldn't be sky anymore

If more clubs from the football areas bothered their arse to enter teams the likes of the above wouldn't happen. Young lads will play anything. There should be an U11/13/15/17 C Football clubs only Championship.

Well done for saying it Eddie. It's an absolute disgrace that Mountmellick are allowed be a Gaels team in the intermediate championship.

I am not surprised that the county have let a Gaels team play in it because they have strongly promoted it over the years. It has ruined Laois football and it's unfortunately on going to become more common.

Another anomaly - last night Ballyfin were allowed to play lads who'd hurled senior a few days ago, in a junior C hurling match, again because of the Gaels set-up.

Agreed,The Hurling Clubs don't have any issue with playing underage football,there's alway that bit more resistance the other way round.

Laois didn't come up with this rule. It in the Official guide and was brought in a few years ago at Congress.

Toomanygaels

Yes but the County Board could still refuse to let them enter the championship as a Gaels team.

BallyroanAbbey

Gaels should be left for senior teams only, having said that there shouldnt be 16 senior teams either, as regards underage football and hurling should be accessable to every child inside their own parish, laois is too small for towns like stradbally being a football only club or rathdowney being a hurling only club

Let's be honest about it, which end of the county is this a problem in?
There are very few juvenile hurlers with no access to football.
