What are they up to this year?
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled.......

Ballinakill Gaels with Ballypickas wouldn't be a bad option.

That could free up Shanahoe to join up with Clonad and Colt as the Raheen Parish Gaels.

Unfortunately the Raheen Parish Gaels amalgamation at juvenile level is under pressure already

That would be disappointing if true.

I believe the Clonaslee Annanough football thing is gone. County board are only allowing amalgamation of neighbouring clubs or historically linked clubs?
Annanough got nothing out of it anyway only injuries and relegated. They should focus on getting back up out of junior.

Speaking to any Annanough man and they felt it worked very well, despite the relegation. Their players got exposure to senior, and could still play alongside their clubmen as well. They felt the relegation wasn't related to the amalgamation.

The county board would do well to pull their f**king finger out and sort out an avenue for junior and intermediate club players to get access to the top grade of football without having to make up esb bills before they destroy the club structures at lower levels in Laois.

At least 1 Party to the amalgamation wants to walk away,very disappointing if that happens as personally would like to see it operating at adult level as well.

I don't think any of the parties to the amalgamation can afford to walk away. Unless they have somewhere else to go?

Depends if one of the clubs fears for its own production line as a result of lack of game time.

100% agree on paragraph 2 of your post.
However we must be speaking to different Annanough men!🙄
