The future of laois hurling

[clonadmad]

I see where we played Kilkenny at the weekend. I think it was U15. Any idea how it went? The Development Squad qualifiers are on next weekend.

U14s it was

Tony Forristal/Sonny Buckley u14 All Ireland starting this weekend

You wouldn't be too hopeful for success given that u14 squad only came together in May

Any update on a new hurling manager yet? It's going on a while now.

Brendan Bugler has it .

[Laois man]

Bugler is with birr at the moment.

Was that our A team against their A team or was it one of those Even teams blitzes they have now.

[Laois man]

Ye Bulger is training birr in offaly this year.

[Spiritof86]

Yes he is but I'd imagine he would be combining roles until his Birr position ends at the conclusion of the championship.

Lads we should keep the senior managers posts in the senior hurlers thread. This thread is for what's happening with the under age hurling in the county.

How the hell did we get in with them?!

Hopefully they give a good account of themselves over the weekend. After the ladies win at weekend and minor hurlers in Leinster final the county is craving for a bit of success.

In the u15 Arrabawn tournament tomorrow

Laois 1 are drawn with Limerick 1  and Cork 2

[clonadmad]

Forristal/Buckley u14 qualifiers was moved to Wexford centre of excellence due to what had happened in Thurles last night

Tipperary didn't turn up

Laois A were competitive v Wexford but got a trimming against Cork

Laois B got the mother and father of beatings off both Cork and Wexford teams

When you see 1 mentor over each laois  team versus the setup of other counties

Laois would be better off staying at home until they sort their shit out

No offence to either the youngsters or the mentors who have taken up this thankless poisoned chalice

You would really have to wonder what the issues are here. I believe there was a great number of coaches turned out for the setanta programme this summer with great numbers of kids too. Very disappointing to see this happen at an important age group. What are these u14 kids impressions of standards at County level? The set up in there clubs is likely to be better. I thought part of the idea of Gdo's in the clubs was to allow the county gdo's to drive on the county development squads? Are they not involved here. Hard questions need to be asked and this cannot be allowed to happen in the coming years. After the positivity around the minors this year now is the time to drive on the groups coming behind them.
How did u15s get on? There set up any better?
