great value for money sunday

Yeah that's a winner for a Sunday afternoon alright .

Have a feeling Killeshin will be competitive but O'Ds should won by 3.

Portlaoise and Emo both mixing a few. Surely Portlaoise have better depth. Fancy then by 5.
Joe's will have way to much. 8 minimum.

Port by as much as they want. I'll say 12.
Clonaslee will be closer than some think. Graigue by 1.
Ballyroaan should win but I've a feeling Rosenallis might catch them. Rosenalus by 2.

Ballyfin by 3.
Courtwood by 4.

Very disappointing game last night thought killeshin had something about them after winning 1b league. Absolutely woeful. Could struggle for relegation play off on the basis of that performance.  O'Dempseys were decent nonetheless good fast attacking football.
No one in their right mind could have predicted a 20 point win, if they did any chance of some lotto numbers for the euro millions tonight  8)

Poor stuff In OMP this evening . Distinct lack of quality on show . Some awful wides and handling. Return or Swayne and Lillis badly needed . Like to see Benny Carroll back involved with county .

Pugwash

Since Thursday evening we've had a host of one sided encounters that have done nothing for both the winning sides and the losing sides.

There are about 8 teams, maybe 10 at an extreme push who you could deem Senior standard but yet we persist with a bad product of 16 teams?

We either whittle the numbers down or we mirror what they do in Kerry and have two Senior Championships.

1. Individual Clubs operating in their own separate 8-10 team Senior Championship (the winner represents Laois in Leinster)
2. Individual Clubs + Amalgamations (smaller rural clubs pooling together) to create a Senior Championship

Drastic action needs to be done now before we fall even further behind at both Underage and Senior intercounty level.

Chrimtain

We also need to do something about getting more participation in the urban centres. Portlaoise won at the weekend but there are problems there. County Board need to look at the biggest town in the county and help grow the game there.

The PRO

Very poor quality over the weekend but hopefully round 2 will see some more evenly matched games.

When's the draw for the next round?
I'll just ad - as per usual my predictions were spot on 😀

Anyone know what time the draw for 2nd round is on tomorrow or are they holding off till St Joseph's Ballylinan match is played?

Overall games relatively poor for first round. Ballyfin toothless upfront without Sean Moore. Never looked like winning even when they levelled it at start of 2nd half.

Niall Dunne immense for Courtwood and Robert Tyrell. Dunne definitely should be in with Laois next year. Park Ratheniska lacking bit of size up front but showed enough to say they should be good enough to stay senior. Whether the draw will be kind to them remains to be seen.

I think Stradbally are going to be one watch . Looked very fit,hungry organised and can get stronger . There match with Graigue will be interesting.
Niall Dunne was immense for Courtwood. They will fancy there chances against Portlaoise.
