I believe after next Saturday night

St.Patricks will come into existence

The whole thing is madness. Especially for Abbeyleix. No need whatsover to even be considering this, except the prospect of a county final win (a tainted one in my opinion). I don't ever recall a club in such a strong position to stand alone jumping to amalgamate.

Anthony Coffey must have some influence. Left Trumera for Ballinakill and they tried to go Gaels together.
Spends a year in Ballinakill and Abbeyleix are all set to amalgamate with them.
Get that man up in Stormont quick!
Laois GAA is littered with tainted titles. There's been more tainted ones than not.

List the tainted Senior Hurling titles?

There was a motion passed at convention this week. All amalgamations and entries will have to be finalised by 14th January and there won't be any exceptions to that.

There's a very important county committee meeting next Monday night to decide what will and won't be allowed in terms of Gaels teams etc.

Doesn't come in until January 2020
Correct. My bad. Although the Gaels stuff will be effective for 2019.

Church in Abbeyleix and Spink is St Lazerians and the one in Ballinakill is St Brigids so where is St Patricks coming from

Were you not at the information night?

If the amalgamation vote goes ahead Saturday.

All bets could be off on this on Monday night

I'm sure the representative for Pickas will want her say

Also Trumera at juvenile are looking to throw in their lot with us in the RPG amalgamation and leave mountrath

It's enough to melt your head at this stage

Every time an incident occurs the win is tainted?
And I think the word littered is hardly appropriate?
You can't compare 1989, 1996 or 2005 with 2018. An incident occurred, nobody was targeted and the incidents had no effect on the final result in any of the three cases.

I said Laois GAA, not Laois Senior Hurling.

I can compare, and will. You're not the boss of me.

Grand.  ::)

Moving on, does anybody have any reasonably solid information on how the deal brokered has been received by the individual club memberships?

Ballinakill some reticence,but a lot of those complaining haven't paid their membership and won't have a voice

Abbeyleix membership includes those who buy a county board ticket according to a lad here that worlds with me,could be a few that might dissent on the night

The feeling in both camps given the level of preparation that's gone in,is that it will pass

The vote is on the same time Saturday night

No membership, no vote!

I agree, hopefully both clubs do what's morally right and turn it down. It will be a hard call to make. We all saw what happened when Rathdowney and Kilcotton didn't back themselves and took the handy way out. Amalgamated into super clubs, thus f**king up the system on the rest.
What chance has a rosenailis, ballyfin, colt, mountrath or even a ballinakill and Abbeyleix got against these big amalgamations.

Could Rathdowney or Kilcotton have won a senior on their own at this stage, we will never know. I'd like to think they would have. For ourselves and Abbeyleix surely its heads say yes and heart says no, time will tell.
