Anyone know why Flanagan and Saunders weren't involved with Portlaoise today ? Both made appearances the last day against Rosenallis

Saunders was injured,Flanagan was away I'm told

Mohan and Osbourne I think

While we can admire these young men and hope they will become senior co hurlers some day, NOW is the time to start driving all other areas of hurling development in the county. Development squads need more, setanta programme must be supported, financed and expanded, secondary schools need assistance, a new juvenile hurling club in portlaoise is needed, more GPO's in clubs, portarlington hurling progress must continue etc etc etc

Don't think a new hurling club is needed, the hurling clubs already picking players out of portlaoise just need more support and work in the schools. I doubt Clonad would be happy if a new hurling club was set up in portlaoise.

Have the draws been made for the U20 championship?

Any suspensions arising out of the brawl between Arles Killeen and Killeshin?

Any idea on healys injury?just hope it's not the cruciate again, probably finish him if it is

Pitch Inspection:

MW Hire O'Moore Park has passed its pitch inspection this morning. Laois v Cavan goes ahead at 2pm today.

Has Jack Kelly left the hurling panel? Heard he did today

Could be, my informant must have got it wrong

Has Jack Kelly left the hurling panel? Heard he did today

I'm hearing John Sugrue will manage Portlaoise this year as soon as his Kerry under 20 term ends.

Not true apparently,hope I'm wrong though

Brody and Dillion to return to panel in coming weeks.

Dillon not playing with Laois this year I heard

If maurice Deegan is reffinfg the match like he was today then I'd fancy portarlington
