Leinster Minor Hurling 2019

[Andy06]

Have to say what a brilliant year it is for Laois in the championship!
Senior footballers in a Leinster semi-final
Minor footballers in a Leinster semi-final
Senior hurlers with 2 wins out of 2 in the Joe McDonagh and looking well there
Minor hurlers into a Leinster quarter-final and flying by all accounts

[MasterJ]

Agreed but still one more win needed in minor football , senior football and senior hurling. And two more needed in minor hurling

All well and good, but we need to be getting to finals and then winning them, especially in football.

Why especially in football?

[Don Draper]

Why especially in football?

Because we've fallen so dramatically from there. The hurling is a gradual process. It should be easier make up the ground in football.

[burdizzo]

God, I'd say it's very important to get to, and win, the McDonagh Cup final - much more important than winning a Leinster football final - as if that's a realistic goal at the moment.

I should have been clearer, I was referring to Minor level, my apologies. I dont see us beating Dublin in a senior Leinster final anytime soon.

The Joe Mc is the most important.

But sadly in truth, its not worth a f**k as its set up for us to come back down again the following year.

The football isn't worth it ether because of Dublin.

Equaling Dublin at underage level shouldn't be beyond us.

Agreed No reason we can't be doing more than just competing against Dublin at underage Football and Hurling I think anyway

I understand what you mean in terms of the step up but I don't agree that it is not worth a f**k. I would personally place a lot of weight in winning the McDonagh cup. It would be great recognition that we are best amongst our peers. Would love to win a final in Croke Park too. Everything else would be a bonus. In my opinion you should have to qualify for the Leinster championship proper by playing a promotion / relegation challenge rather than the current situation.

[MasterJ]

Also winning or losing the final you still would have a game left in the All-Ireland prelimery quarter final against third place teams.

I think this is very fanciful!

Thats our problem there in a nutshell.

Expand.
Numbers, resources and facilities.
To say it shouldn't be beyond us totally understates the level of difficulty involved in achieving that grand aim.
