Sean George is living abroad as far as I know

The reality is that we have approached the county board (the 3  other portlaoise parish clubs are fully aware of this) with  a proposal to get 2 national schools and Portlaoise College designated as Clonad schools,we feel would go somewhat towards providing a Hurling  option for children that isn't being provided for currently in Portlaoise parish,.We would hope to make use of the Portlaoise College facilities for training also.

Best of luck Clonad. Hopefully county board approves! Can you say which two national schools are involved?

Re the minor final, didn't the harps win a minor joined with ballinakill a few years back? Maybe not but they were certainly joined at one stage. I think it will benefit Mountrath to have those chaps on a winning team but yes in an ideal world they should be able to field their own team.

Trumera I believe

Well done to Courtwood, shows what can be done when a club puts the work into their juveniles. Mountmellick seemed to have no game plan for their forwards. The primary school in mountmellick has over 240 boys and so should have roughly 60 u12s each year and yet they're still only competing at B level. The county board must intervene as the club themselves seem to lack any ambition to compete at the top.
