Underage amalgamations

[The boardman]

Harps look very strong in the U17 A again this year overall underage there strong. Hard to see any team beating them in U17 grade.

Castletown beat the Harps in the u15 A Final two years ago and it's looking like the same 2 in the minor A final this year with the winners reversed

Ballacolla would be dark horses to win it they have already beaten Castletown and should have home advantage in a semi if they were to meet again

Final semifinal slot is between Portlaoise and PRT

The Minor B semifinalist are already known

Camross R/E Mountrath and Mountmellick

Camross have a young team many of whom will be in the mix to win the u15 A Final this year probably against Borris Kilcotton

Mountmellick have numbers but might need a home semi final to progress

Rathdowney were in the u15A grade 2 years ago but seem to have been hit by a transfer of a very good hurler to Ballacolla this year

Mountrath were beaten AET in the u15B final by PRT 2 years ago and have a couple of this years Laois minors on board including a lad who will be hurling adult for Trumera next year

Gun to the head

I'd say a final of

Rathdowney v Mountrath

But any 4 of them could win it

Heard that the Minor B Hurling might be spilt top 3 cup and bottom 3 shield.
