Can anyone from Portlaoise confirm how Bruno is?

Released from Hospital today,suffering from concussion,doesn't remember anything of the game which is probably a blessing in disguise 😏

Tipp have 4 GDO's,1 for each division,so it's not just about throwing money at the problem,it's much more nuanced than that.

How many national schools here would run lunchtime or after school leagues and that's just 1 example where the approach in Tipperary or Kilkenny is radically different from that of here.

People here laud cheddar and Critchley for the hurling work they do,go into any club in Tipp or KK and there's a cheddar or Critchley in situ in each club.

Even a simple thing as juvenile pitch's aren't  up to scratch here,compare them again to what's available in KK or Tipp and don't come whining about grants or croke park,most of them were put in on the backs of their members.

A sad day for Laois,a man who put his heart soul and money into the Laois set up


Davy's available
All we need is a €1m budget p.a to renumerate him and his 29 man support team.

Yes,he's been cleared to play

Yep the Frank Murphy approach of finding a loophole and then exploiting it to your advantage.

I was talking to a Timahoe mentor today and he seems to think that Quigley will win the appeal as the video proves that he didn't strike the player for which he was in the refs report for.

Far from a wind up,Clonad approached both clubs at the start of the year with regard to a full juvenile hurling amalgamation from u8's to u21's.

Clonad has been very up front with regards training and mentors being Clonad based,this has worked very well for us in our previous amalgamation and we would be insistent that it would continue.

You might have your doubts,but this amalgamation is very close to being finalized.

Your right Baller

A delegation came over from Ratheniska back in February looking for training to be done half the time over there

There was nothing wrong up to that with us doing  everything and they sitting back and letting us do it,at the end of the day they are a football club in the main similar to the Heath and  Timahoe and we would have the hurling knowledge,results at u14 level in particular,would bear that out.

We need to do what's right by our club first,no doubt there are lots of good young hurlers in both Colt and Shanahoe who will wear the Clonad jersey with pride in the coming years

We approached both colt and shanahoe before the start of this season with a view to forming a more concrete amalgamation for 8's up to u21's. We'd be also hoping to keep the Heath lads on board as they play hurling with us underage and we would'nt have any issues with our chaps playing football with them if they want.

As regards the other 2 clubs,unfortunately they contribute little in terms of mentors or input,even though they were always welcome to come over to watch us train their players in Clonad but we have to look after the needs of our own club first. 

Nenagh Eire Og and Toome in North Tipp . Loughmore and Drom , Mid Tipp !

Toome v anybody in the North Division

Ballingarry v anybody in the South

Camross v Castletown

continuous issues with it,particularly in the juvenile sections with wrong table positions being put in place,incorrect scorelines,incorrect results and in some cases Portlaoise amongst others having 2 teams in the one division.

Sloppy and careless.

Colt and Shanahoe to join up with ourselves.

Talks at a very advanced stage with u8's up to u21's hurling in the Jersey,being trained in Clonad and with the  club also supplying the mentors across all the age groups,a great boost for the club and also for hurling in the county.
