Laois County Football Leagues all chat in here

[Unlaoised]

The Town v Joes was a game of poor poor quality but Portlaoise were missing so many its hard to judge them...

Joe's could be the surprise package this year they have some fine players it just didn't click for them but conditions were terrible for football with the wind!

Heard ClOnaslee v Annanough was an absolute bloodbath in Division 2. Five sent off and game eventually abandoned by Brendan McCann.

Halfway through the league and here are the tables so far.

Div.1A





Div.1B

[Uisce]

Portlaoise/Portlaoise Gaa. Is it really that hard administer this? Its an issue in several tables down through the leagues, very annoying. I'm easily frustrated perhaps

Me too... Was there two Portlaoise teams in there from the start seeing as how Portlaoise have played one game and Portlaoise Gaa have played 6 games...

Is this new league format a pre-cursor for a similar style championship set up similar to the hurling??

[Joeythelips]

We wonder why GAA is struggling in the county, we cannot even organise games for clubs at this stage. I am from Kilcavan, a small rural club where the gaa pitch is the main landmark in the area. They have an intermediate team who are competing in Division 3A, according to the league table they have played 5 games but in actual fact they have only played 2.  Although it has to be said midweek fixtures suit nobody really in this day and age considering the amount of people who are based in Dublin for work and education.

Kilcavan have started preparing underage teams in recent years as they have more people in the area (previously the youngsters competed with Mountmellick underage teams) as they try an build the club and create an interest in the sport for kids in the community, there are soccer and rugby clubs not a million miles away so the work been done is vital. Youngsters also need a team to follow and with the adult team getting 2 league games thus far does not reflect well on the league. The county board need to get all the clubs together and trash out what is need to give teams good competitive games. In the same league are Barrowhouse, a club along similar lines to Kilcavan who also have to put up with these walkovers.

[Downtheroad]

Have to feel some sympathy for Kilcavan and Barrowhouse who are first teams who no doubt are preparing properly for the championship. Most of the other teams are not pushed at what happens as it is either their 2nd or 3rd team. It's a farce but it is hard to know what to do to address the issue other than fining clubs for non participation. If you want to look up another farce have a peep at the Laois Minor B hurling league for the current year.

[redsetanta]

That's very unfair on Kilcavan and Barrowhouse. They need to start banning clubs teams from the competition if they concede too many games. Re-structure the leagues so that the smaller clubs get the games they are supposed to. That's a joke the amount of games conceded.

We (Courtwood) played a Division 2 game last night, 4 weeks and 4 days after our previous game! Appalling scheduling this year. The leagues are a joke.
