The future of laois hurling

[Spiritof86]

The point about Portlaoise having only one representative in the panel is actually replicated in a lot of the smaller and not so smaller counties across the country. The largest town having the least representation with the county etc .
I agree it is depressing but it's also maybe a social and cultural issue which needs to be addressed.

Laois u20s played westmeath in Coe yesterday. Very poor performance against an unfancied westmeath side. Laois near enough full strength except for aaron phelan and ciaran flynn who were injured.. Left with 5 min to go and laois were up by 2 or 3 points.

hardly know the team ?

                   Ben campion
Bobby Murphy.      Lawson.     Cathal Cuddy
Philip Tynan.     Tom Cuddy.     Rory Dunne
       Cody comerford.      Podge. Brennan
Cian conroy.     Cillian Dunne.     Brian duggan
Noah quinlan.    Ger Quinlan.   James cuddy

Ross coffey
Cathal Murphy
Colm byrne
Were the substitutes that came on. Its depressing that portlaoise have only one representative on the panel which is the sub goalkeeper.

Portlaoise spend a fair chunk of their time in the likes of minor in the B, nevermind the fact that they should be a senior hurling club also

Hurling is on its knees in Portlaoise

While it's lamentable that hurling is at such a low ebb in the town surely tat's an opportunity for the likes of Clonad to get in younglads from the town who want to hurl.
Does it help your club at all?

Is that the full team? Must be lads missing if that is the line out.

Aaron phelan, ciaran flynn,,possibly sean fitz and loughlin conway would pushing hard to start. Good few especially to the age didn't commit for one reason or another. There a very physically small team with one or two exceptions.. a good few of them seemed to be way off the pace fitness  wise.

We do

But it's a struggle and Portlaoise tend to have first call on youngsters from a GAA background

If I won the Euromillions,I would consider having a second Clonad pitch and grounds in the town

Still pretending to be from Clonad?!

Shocking news from Trumera. God rest the poor chap.

Shocking news from Trumera. God rest the poor chap.

Absolutely horrific news. Such a talented lad in all walks of life. Deepest sympathies to family, friends and the trumera club.

So so sad may he Rip.
