Throw in 3.45pm

Big game for the lads today in Kilcormac .

Laois back in training next week .
Mark Timmons back for his 19th season with Laois . Some man !

Former Limerick footballer Diarmuid Carroll and former Carlow player James Clarke have been added to the senior football management backroom team in coaching roles. Ross Munnelly also a selector . 

Does anyone know the provisional 2024 NFL division 4 fixtures for Laois?

Provisional fixtures for all counties were released back in October. Some counties fixtures can be found through Google but granted those teams are operating in the top 2 divisions.

Cheers

Nothing official announced yet . Typically last week of November or first week of December before any Official announcement .
No such thing as provisional fixtures for divisions 3/4 ☺️

Leinster club on Sunday Naas V Camross. And also A and B U20s finals on all could be close games.

Would love to see Camross rattle Naas but can't see them getting within 10 points tbh

Again, not really the point. Let's take this week as an example. McNulty's Constituency office is in Newry, parts of which were under water yesterday. Local businesses will be calling on him, along with local residents and the many other local interest groups. Daisy Hill Hospital is down the road, and that is a big issue for McNulty. This man has more than enough on his plate. It's hard to fathom what he was thinking by taking the Laois job

He needs to say he's assisting Laois in an advisory capacity only. On a voluntary basis. If there is money to spare, and we need McNulty to mentor or advise, then fine, go with that. But for the sake of his political career, he needs to row back on his involvement with Laois; at least from a public perspective

Apologies HF . I wasn't addressing a singular point you had made . It was just a stand alone comment/observation.

Justin McNulty by all accounts is offering his time freely as a volunteer to Laois GAA . He is entitled to expenses which is covered by the county board. This is all within the GAA rules .

Strange appointment nevertheless but financially makes sense for CB .
Back room team  will be interesting and seemingly where the costs will be the highest .

When are Camross out in Leinster?

Sunday 12th November. Home to Kildare champions.

Puke football. Woeful advertisement for our county. I know Josephs won't care but Christ it was pathetic.

You seem surprised ? Yesterday  pretty much summed up the majority of games in this year's championship.
Did you expect something special yesterday?

Between McNulty and Banty

Well done St Joseph's. Showed more endeavour and hunger particularly in the second half . Daly and Kelly with two great points near the end . Eoghan O'Flaherty plays a very controlled role in the Joes team and is very composed on and off the ball .
Pretty desperate game of football otherwise . Decent crowd .
End of the road for a few of those Portlaoise lads I'd imagine .
Eire Og next Sunday for Joes .

Is there any hope Mick Dempsey would take on the job?

Extremely unlikely.

Anyone hear Justin McNulty's name being mentioned?

Heard he was approached amongst a few others this week that weren't initially part of the interviewees.

Joes by 5/6
The Heath by 4/5
Park by 2/3
