Would be nice to see Offaly game played somewhere other than Portlaoise in December.

Minor 2020 championship should be a cracker as long as there are none of the recent marriage of convenience style amalgamations. B/K, R/E, Portlaoise, C/B, Harps and Abbeyleix would all fancy their chances. Rosenallis and Camross won't be far behind.
Portlaoise,The Harps,Abbeyleix and Camross would be my 4 to make a semifinal in 2020
Rosenallis are my dark horse
B/K,R/E and C/B I don't think will be in the mix as they weren't strong this year and their u15's did little this year also.
I completely agree with you,as regards those one year amalgamations,they shouldn't be allowed full stop.

Hopefully we'll get a repeat of the classic from a few years ago.

Forecast not good and football replay midweek wont help . Could be two messy encounters at the weekend unfortunately.
If that's the case then the Borris/CB game should be moved to Rathdowney on Saturday evening and just have the one game in the park on sunday. Not going to happen though
Quote from: Zooming around on August 25, 2019, 10:58:30 AMThat's a bit of an unfair dig at young players Zooming Around. We need to include players from every club in our county squads. There were several lads from that u14 Laois team that played minor this year so what's your point? It's easier to play better when you have better players around you and there's a long way between u14 and u17.Quote from: clonadmad on August 22, 2019, 10:16:44 AMQuote from: Spiritof1915 on August 21, 2019, 08:48:20 PM
Well from what I can gather, is that the management team opted to enter one team only in the tony Forristal (albeit with fantastic results) when this group where u14. This went against the grain of every other year when Laois sent 2 teams. I think the majority of the problem is that other chaps not involved in the click have no interest or desire to be ask in to make up the numbers in what essentially is a closed shop.
The fact that the panel has never had trials and are handpicked by the selectors in the intervening years is unbelievable. The mentors who call the shots are involved with their club teams so they never get to view other games independently.
I again reiterate the fact that Laois had only three subs last Saturday a week or two out from their important end of season tournament. Is their any other development panel in the country managed in this way. I believe that one chap playing corner forward is a back and has been playing in that position since he was small. No surprise when I heard he was from one of the selectors club.
Ditto with this years u16 team
We had 2/3 lads who we thought might be worthy of consideration,only to be told that it was a closed shop also,theres been no trials for this group also since u14.
Unbelievable carry on
Also the 2 u15 teams were cut to 1 this year.
Ive seen Ye hurl on numerous occasions over the last few years and Id question who these 2/3 lads are. To say the standard is low would be an understatement. Huge numbers of players unable to perform even the most basic skills. I didnt see any potential county players. In fairness, maybe those lads werent playing on any of those nights. Im still struggling to believe that one of the mentors actually told you its a closed shop.
What is really amazing is that 4or 5 of the Kilkenny team that Laois beat at u14 were playing in the minor final last Sunday.
Quote from: Zooming around on August 20, 2019, 05:11:56 PMI presume it would be between Enda Lyons who has been manager for the last two years, or the current u16 management team of Liam Dunne, Tim Fahy and Ollie Quinlan.Quote from: merman on August 20, 2019, 04:05:17 PMQuote from: Zooming around on August 20, 2019, 03:18:16 PM
Has the 2020 Laois Minor Hurling Management been finalised yet?
Few details to be ironed out but I think it best to not to speculate until anything is confirmed.
It's a very important appointment and i hope our hapless board get it right. Knowing them they'll probably appoint Eamon Kelly.
