Wasn't there today but that's a fairly comprehensive victory albeit by goals.

Championship everyone pays and you also have this bolloxology of seniors paying full price and having to look for refunds at the ground. Whatever about €5 for u16s, €20 for adults is another €5 too much.

Fair play to the Comerford brothers I think this is their 7th consecutive weekend of championship games with Laois.

So 2 changes in defense both on the same side of the park, corner and half back. Hopefully it works out for them.

Minor Team named for Kildare game tomorrow.

1. Thomas McCann (Ballyroan Abbey)

2. Cian Langford (Emo)

3. Sean O'Flynn (Courtwood)

4. Daniel Comerford (The Harps)

5. John Rogers (Ballyroan Abbey)

6. Seamus Lacey (Ballylinan)

7. Gary Saunders (Portlaoise)

8. Robert Tyrell (Camross)

9. Diarmuid Whelan (Ballyroan Abbey)

10. Alan Kinsella (Courtwood)

11. Niall Dunne (Courtwood)

12. Ronan Coffey (Portarlington)

13. Mark Barry (O'Dempsey's)

14. Ciaran Comerford (The Harps)

15. Dean Brophy (St Joseph's)

Gas men them Duff's. Good song too. Does Cheddar make an appearance in that video? There's a lad not too unlike him!

I concur with Unlaoised on this one. PM each other if you want to keep it going. Ye shouldn't really be discussing the status of a lads employment on a public forum.

In my opinion you will need to get someone with a vision as to how this will work best for everyone and put in place a long term plan. Would probably need a patron or donor because the money won't be coming from the CB or Croke Park. Once they get the go ahead from CB you would need a couple of ex players who would also have a long term vision to actively get the club up and running and in my opinion it should be started as a hurling club only!

Came across this article about Zoom from the time of his book launch.

Thoughts?

Two of the best county hurling men are in Portlaoise. If Critchley and Cheddar cannot get the participation rate up then nobody will. Are the street leagues still going on in the town? Also, would Clonad not take players from the town?

One of O'Carrolls strengths is running at the opposition which he can do much better from the half forward line. He's very important to the team but not sure if pumping balls into himself and Kingston is the answer.

I'd have Davy Conway in before Paul Kingston every dayof the week.

The CB are even worse than we thought. They are now sacking their employees after dropping in here for 5 minutes. Would someone please tell them that you can't believe everything you read?

Just looking at the minor team that lost to KK in leinster final in 2014 a large amount of that group are currently  involved with the seniors.
