U16s had two squads out on Saturday - 'blue squad' lost to a Wexford selection by six, and 'white squad' beat Westmeath narrowly.

Get hurling coaches into the schools and clubs, get the basic skills into players at a young age, this will develop competitive underage club teams. The best players can be picked for county development squads where the standard of training and matches goes to a higher level. The more our minor teams get exposed to high standard games like they have this season the better.
Some people on here having a pop at Brennan, but he was part of a set up that the group brought into. With some decent underage players coming through and a mix of experienced players already there, Laois are in a good place to win JMcD cup if they get a good management team in place.
And who are the hurling coaches that can be sent into clubs and schools?
Is there some hidden reservoir of experienced and committed hurling coaches in the county that the rest of us don’t know about
The reality is that while we had a good crop of minors relative to other years they were lacking inthe skills speed and execution when it came to the likes of Offaly and Clare
We won’t have another group like them for god knows how long however
The Celtic Challenge v Wicklow game finished in a draw yesterday,there’s a few decent lads on it but yet again we don’t have the execution speed that comes with continuous proper coaching from an early age
The u15 set up is shambolic even by our standards
The u14 manager wasn’t appointed till the middle of May,they picked a panel,trained once and then sent them out to get an absolute pasting off both Offaly and Waterford
I’m baffled sometimes about the constant harrowing on about Eddie Brennan and his tactics . We scraped by the Westmeath in the Joe McDonagh final and then a Great one off performance against Dublin that hasn’t been replicated since .
In his second year we lost all our league matches apart from one . Failed to win any championship matches .. the euphoria of that Dublin match needs to be put to bed . A lot of lads living off there reputation from that day .
Brennan isn’t all that and that has been clearly proven in his recent spell with Cuala that ended less than harmonious .
Yesterday was difficult to watch . Cheddar will do the right thing now but that man owes Laois nothing.
Sounds like Laois County Board.
At least they are starting the Setanta program again this summer.
When Laois won the 1936 Leinster final brothers Bill, Chris, Mick and Jack Delaney played with their uncle Tom also playing at full-back.
Seven Fennelly brothers from Ballyhale all hurled senior with Kilkenny but not sure how many appeared together.
Clare putting Tipp to the sword a lot easier than the 7 point scoreline suggested....Tipp are 100/1 https://www.oddschecker.com/gaelic-games/hurling/all-ireland-senior-hurling-championship/winner
Hard to see Tipp recover from that with Cork and Limerick to come.
If Clare can beat Cork and that's not beyond the realms of reality as they too have huge men in their forwards able to win high ball, something we know Cork can't handle to date then it'll get all interesting for the Munster Championship..
O'Donnell has gotten over his concussion issues hopefully and with Duggan back in the mix, Clare will be confident going into that game, but you gotta wonder about Tipp, how they left their fullback line so exposed, heck, Conlan who was Clare's centre back ran 40 metres into the heart of the Tipp defence to get a shot off at the keeper and the rebound was buried in the net..
Big issues for Bonnar to sort out.
It's a real pity that this Laois team had key players that were injured coming into this game along with a couple of guaranteed starters who were unable to commit to U20s this year as well. It's an opportunity lost. Very talented bunch of players over the last two years but unfortunately didn't achieve that big scalp that we hoped they would get.
Laois u14s are running trials for the past 6 weeks and there’s no management in place to oversee it
The football at the same age grade had their management in place before they even started their trials around the same time
If there's no management in place who is running the trials.
What's the story? Are they struggling to get people involved?

No one wants to take it
A good few have been asked and declined
