I do think abbeyleix will beat ballyfin in the key basement game this weekend.

Agreed based on a couple of Saturdays ago.

I assume with lots walkovers for their Div 5 team it's down to numbers.

Laois / Looking For Div 4/5 Football

Hi

Just a follow up on my thread about eligibility. Anyone involved in any Div 4 or 5 football teams that might be looking for players/struggling for numbers?

If someone knows of a club I could possibly play with at that level could you send me a message.

Cheers!

Think I got it! So you could transfer to Ballyroan to play football only but you couldn't play football with Ballyroan and hurling with Rathdowney because Rathdowney fields a football team and you'd therefore have to do both with Rathdowney?

Assume if it fields any football team at adult level it's a dual club?

Thanks!

I'll try find a football club for 2019 and take it from there. I'm 3 years registered with the hurling club in Dublin anyway.

Hi lads, sorry to drag this up again...

I'm registered with a hurling club in Dublin (last played 2017). Back living in Laois permanently. If I wanted to play Football does it have to be for my parish club (they don't "really" play Football as far as I know) where my address is?

And would it be the same for hurling?

Thanks in advance!

Another question... how does the system work in Laois exactly, you play in the parish you live in and that's pretty much it?

Thanks lads!

Laois / Looking For A Club Hurling/Advice
December 28, 2016, 05:07:22 PM
Hi

I played hurling for the first time in years this year but outside Laois. I'm back in Laois and would prefer to play here. This year I was just playing as a junior sub more or less making up the numbers so they could field a team/have a sub which suited me as I have a huge commitment to another sport too.

For a couple of reasons I don't particularly want to play at home, mainly because they have plenty of players and wouldn't have much use for an extra body. I'd kinda like to find a club where having an extra body would be of some use!

Would I have any options for finding some club where I could just be a useful sub or is that totally unrealistic given rules etc.?

I could hurl outside Laois again but it's a lot of driving!

Thanks
