The London one is set in stone though as apparently teams have to know well in advance to plan travel.
Book the flights!🙂
Well I could keep it above
But then it wouldn't be sky anymore

Seniors back training? Any word of a training panel? Hopefully some Port lads commit over the next few weeks, deserve a well earned break

Ross Munnelly is not back training. Fair play to him, he absolutely gave it his all for nearly 20 years and owes Laois nothing. Probably stayed a little longer than he needed to but according to lads that were on the squads with him for the last couple of years, he was still flying fit and leaving plenty of the young lads behind.

Laois Rising

You only have to look at the Laois intermediate championship to see that he was on a par if not ahead of other forwards on the county panel these last few years. If Ross was 22 and playing and scoring the way he did in this year's intermediate championship there would huge call out for him to be in with the panel for the coming year. This argument that Ross should have stepped away from Laois panel years ago is ridiculous. You pick the best players possible that are available to you and he definitely fell into that category. It was up to the younger players to step up to mark and dislodge Ross from the panel. In fairness, Mark Barry to take one example took his opportunity and was rewarded with a starting place for the county. Ross was not stopping anyone who was genuinely good enough from playing for Laois. I would suggest getting to train alongside the likes of Munnelly and seeing his dedication and professionalism could only be a good thing for the development of younger players. I'd have no problem seeing him return to the panel in 2023 if he still has the time and hunger for it. If he decides to call it a day it he has served Laois football exceptionally and will deserve all the platitudes that will no doubt come his way.

Do you know who's in training SCFC?
Nope, sorry, was just chatting to a minor player's parent who has been in the Centre of Excellence a few nights the seniors were also in there and he mentioned that Ross wasn't back.

Centre forward from Carlow ? Is that Lee Walker Jd ? Could be a good addition
