Laois / Second Tier Competition
November 22, 2018, 03:56:50 PM
Apologies if there is a thread on this.

What is the general consensus in here on a second tier competition? I see 60% of GAP survey are in favour (would like to see the county breakdown of that). It looks like it will be on the table for congress.

Elephant in the room is the provincials. Personally they aren't fit for purpose which is a killer given the joy it brought to us in 03. Roscommon to win 1 game and get to the last 12 as opposed to Ulster team winning 3 games to get to the same place is madness.

Personally I would like to see 8 groups of 4 based on league standings.

Laois / Leinster u17 Championship 2018

Apologies if a thread has already started.

Any word on how the u17s are shaping up? Anyone have the panel? Laois are out in a month and there wasn't been much talk about it and so would appreciate if anyone can shed some light

Laois / Rule Changes
January 20, 2017, 12:29:25 PM
With all the talk of how we can improve the game i.e. introducing the Mark, it got me thinking of what I would like to see change

1) Awarding of 2 points for a point scored outside 45m line. This would encourage the actual kicking of a point and would counter the blanket defence.
2) For underage up to u14 or maybe u16 I would like to see the player fouled take the free similar to the basketball concept.

Anyone else have any ideas or they happy with the current game?

Laois / Inter-pros

Anyone know what Laois lads are in both hurling and football squads?

Big fan of the concept and shoud be promoted more than the International rules. The idea of having the semis and final on the Friday and Saturday the All Ireland weekend is a great idea
