Probably more longevity in a championship topic rather than just a managers topic, but we'll start with 2022 Managers , list so far - ( 4 semi finalists are all staying the same I believe

Clough Ballacolla - Declan Laffan with Pat Cleere, Shane Maher
Borris Kilcotton - Ciaran Comerford, Trevor Moore, Eoin Bergin Mick Boyhan S&C
Rathdowney Errill - Shane Keegan, Kevin Power, Eoin Fitzpatrick, Tom Hasset S&C
Camross - David Cuddy, John Kennedy (Templederry, Richie Hitchcock S&C
Rosenallis - ?
The Harps - Ollie Baker,
Ballinakill - Eamon Jackman, Jimmy Walsh
Castletown - David Cuddy, John O Sullivan

Laois man

Oille Baker gone to the Harps he was with Belmout last year.

Keyser Söze

Was just reading about this on Laois Today. They also mentioned how well the previous manager had done with The Harps.
That man has some agent!!!
It took 3 attempts to win the Senior A (I think!) and then they didn't win a game in the Senior championship once promoted.
Baffling.
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled.......

Ogie

Agreed Keyser, another Laois Today favourite,

Baker would be brought on board with the Garda connection, he's at Superintendent rank now in Tullamore, Laois Offaly Garda Chief John Scanlon is The Harps Treasurer

On the Senior B side of things Abbeyleix have brought in Derek Dunne ex Clonad, Down Camogie manager with Barney Naughnane of Kilruane coaching formerly of Clough Ballacolla & Borris Kilcotton they would be a good bet to go back up.

Any word on Portlaoise ?

Laois Rising

Watching Naas go all the way in the intermediate championship and Kilmoley of Kerry make the final, it wouldn't be beyond the realms of possibility for a club like Abbeyleix (if they were to win Laois this year) to give the Leinster intermediate championship a right rattle. They have a good age profile and with some experienced campaigners to boot, 2022 should be a year that they really target getting everything right and everyone on board. Clough Ballacolla showed what Laois clubs are capable of on the Leinster stage with a bit of confidence, determination and drive.

Abbeyleix should win the senior B but might not get it all there own way senior B is always tricky. And updates on other senior B managers? Trumrea have a former Camross player over them I hear. Also well done to laois lads hurling with Carlow It last nice great win. Would be great to see a laois man lift the fitzgibbon Cup.

Brendan Lowry with Trumera, Damien Walsh stepped down

Usually a Kilkenny team lurking in there having just won the ultra-competitive KK intermediate title that makes light work of the rest of the teams. Naas form the backbone of the Kildare team which will probably rise through the ranks to the same level as we are in the coming years.

Any word on who is training Plaois and Colt/Shanahoe for the year ahead?

Ogie

Very poor form of the Clough Ballacolla club not to fulfill either club semi finals this weekend, hiding behind 'player welfare'
All of the other clubs with dual players & Senior / premier intermediate/ intermediate teams all able to fulfill their fixtures
Complete disrespect to the competition & other Laois Gaa clubs


Robbo

Very strange alrite. could they not have moved one of the games? Bit much to concede like that.

Can see why borris and Portlaois wouldn't be happy as opposition were too strong.

Laois man

First league final of the year tomorrow night Div 1 hurling league Camross v Rathdowney/Errill. Camross look to be going well in this league so far.

I see you have to have bought tickets online to be able to go to the game. I don't like the way they are going with ticket sales. There is no outlet for people who might decide to go on the day and pay at the gate.
The real glory is being knocked to your knees and then coming back. That's real glory. VinceLombardi
