Anyone at this game ? Heard it was very one sided and Joseph's were impressive but one of there supporters let the club down by attacking a Ballyroan player after a mass brawl ?

Is there any chance that Sugrue would come back and manage us, we really need someone of that caliber
#35
If Wicklow beat Waterford which they will and we beat London then it all depends on the result of Sligo and Leitrim.
If Leitrim win then ourselves and Leitrim go up. If Sligo win then we are stuck in Div4 for another year.

Could this come down to score difference in the end or does head to head decide it.

I don't think Billy is good at man management judging by the way he treats the squad. In both games against Wexford and Carlow he brought on young Burke from Crettyard with 2 minutes to go.
That's an awful way to treat a good young player and it must be embarrassing for him to go through that twice.

He brought on Walker from Graiguecullen in the first game against Sligo, he's scored a vital goal and he hasn't got any minutes since that. I think he has now quit the panel.

That's not the way to build team moral or to encourage guys to hang around and they'll get their opportunities to play.

If he doesn't change his attitude I can only see more defections from the squad and then we will be in big trouble

Laois / 2023 Laois Football League - Divisions 1 and 2
February 17, 2023, 05:06:46 PM
(From Laois Today website:)

Laois GAA have published the full list of league fixtures ahead of the start of the 2023 season.
The leagues have undergone something of a rebrand with the removal of Division 1B and 3B.
This has resulted in a streamlined system of Division 1 down to Division 7 – with 7, consisting of 16 teams, split geographically into Group A and B.

Division 1, 2 and 3 will operate on a split system where after one round of games, the top four and bottom four in each will play again in a smaller group.
The top two teams in the winners group in each Division will contest the final while the bottom two in the losers group will be relegated.

Division 4, 5, 6 and 7 operate in the traditional way with semi finals and finals following the regulation games.

Division 3 and Division 4 get underway on March 23 with all other competitions starting after that.

Big changes coming to football championships in Laois as 'B' grade introduced in Senior and Intermediate
https://www.laoistoday.ie/2023/02/08/big-changes-coming-to-football-championships-in-laois-as-b-grade-introduced-in-senior-and-intermediate



From Laois Today...

"The structures of the football championships have long been a talking point in Laois for many years.

While most people agree with the schedule and the dates of the competition, the structure of each has come under the spotlight on several occasions.

There are several strategic reviews that have called for a reduction in the amount of Senior teams in the county.


And while that figure still remains at 16, a change to introduce a 'B' grade in 2023 has been introduced.

Up to now, all of the teams were drawn out randomly into eight ties for Round 1.


The winners of these progressed to the Winner's Section for Round 2 and were now unable to be relegated.

The losers went in the Qualifiers Section for Round 2 where the victors progressed to Round 3 and the defeated four sides contested relegation semi finals.

The change now, however, will mean that any team that fails to reach the quarter finals will now go into 'B' quarter finals.


Previously, winning one game would be enough to ensure you avoided relegation peril.

However, now, a team could win in Round 1 but lose in Round 2 and 3. That would send them into a B quarter final.

If they lose that game, they are into a relegation semi final. So now, in order to avoid relegation, teams are going to have to win two matches.

The 'B' competition will be played alongside the Senior championship and a trophy will be handed out at the end.

The same structure is being introduced into the Intermediate football championship.

Here, the four teams that do not reach the semi finals will go into 'B' semi finals.

The winners of the 'B' semi finals will contest the final while the losers will play the relegation final.

The Junior 'A' football championship will consist of 12 teams this year and these are split into three groups – with the winner and runner up progressing to the quarter finals.

The four 'second' teams are going into the same group – St Joseph's, The Heath, Portarlington and Graiguecullen – with the remaining eight teams drawn into the other two groups.

In this championship, the group winners will progress directly to the semi-finals while the group runners-up will go into a preliminary quarter-final and quarter-final to determine the fourth semi-finalist.

The Junior 'B' is slightly more complicated as there are 13 teams due to take part.

These are to be split into three groups – one of five teams and the other two containing four.

Errill, Kilcotton, Rathdowney and Slieve Bloom are going to be placed in one of the four team groups with the remaining nine teams drawn in the other two.

The winner of three of the groups will advance straight to the semi finals while the runner up in two of the groups will playoff for the same place.

A record 25 teams have entered the Junior 'C' championship and they will be drawn into six groups – one of these will contain five teams and the others will contain four.

Borris-In-Ossory, Mountrath, Shanahoe and Colt will be placed in one of the four teams groups with the remaining 21 teams split between the rest.

The winner of the group with five teams will progress to the semi finals while the runner up here will join the winners of the other five groups in quarter finals.

The first of these competitions will kick off in late June and run until October."

Can't understand why Laois GAA would not allow a double header with the Ladies football team take place in O'Moore Park next Sunday .
Surely this would have been a benefit to all Laois supporters.

It is and where better to start your transition than Div 4.
This Division should be very winnable for us so Division 4 champions this year and reaching the Tailteann Cup final next year are two realistic goals for us to aim for.
