Looking forward to seeing an ambitious long term vision for the future of hurling and football in the county!!!

Very football-heavy?

Isn't it always?

[Blow-in]

Phelan didn't take the coaching officer I'm told role still vacant

What happened?

[Blow-in]

Unsure. Let's hope the recently appointed Public Relations Officer can improve things on social media and the website

 Very little coverage of the Walsh cup today on any official channels

Yeah agreed , nothing on the Laois GAA Twitter page about the team or score updates etc . Proper amateur compared to the Offaly GAA Twitter who had teams and score updates throughout.

Trying not to be massively critical as I'm sure there is more to it being the GAA and LGFA are 2 different associations.

But surely there could be a way where the Ladies and Men could have played a double header on Sunday instead of the games on at the same time at different ends of the county.

[Keyser Söze]

I don't have any insight into why this didn't happen.... But I can't imagine the GAA wouldn't have been reasonable in this matter.
Nothing to be gained from being otherwise.

The LGFA nationally have a reputation for being difficult & unreasonable. I have no idea if that extends to this situation, but I wouldn't be jumping to dump the blame at the feet of Laois GAA.

Agreed. Laois GAA are normally very accommodating in these situations.

Without knowing, I wouldn't be surprised if the LGFA wanted half the gate without contributing anything in they line of costs, stewards etc.

Maybe, and hopefully, it's something simple like the pitch isn't able for two games at this time of year.

They do? I would always have seen them as far more progressive, inclusive and player focused than the GAA.
