Evin Keane, Paddy O'Sullivan and Tom Shields injured? All 3 have senior experience and was expecting them to start og available

Evin and Paddy are injured, Tom is on the bench.

Strong bench too with the likes of Michael Keogh and Tom Shields on it.... Best of luck lads.

Best of luck to the U21's tonight.

A tough assignment but a very decent team going up there to take on Louth. Pity they have it on so far away. Drogheda would have been much handier for travelling Laois support.

It's great to see Derek Conroy at the helm. We never really saw the best of him as a senior footballer but he was some player for us underage. Seems to have the right attitude for the job. Best of luck to him and all involved.

Good win 3-15 to 1-14. was it a bit of a shoot out ?

Junior Ex Laoistalk · February 24, 2016, 09:07:31 PM

Great win lads, through to a qtr final against Wicklow

Did Evan O Carroll get a bad injury? I read that he had to go off after 33 minutes?

Not much hurling done on that pitch I'd say....

Any reports from the game? Good win and seem to have plenty of goal scoring threat.

Great win - Wicklow up next who beat Carlow by 5-11 to 3-13 in a crazy game. Wicklow were 4-10 to 1-10 up with ten minutes to go, Carlow levelled it at 3-13 to 4-10 as it went into injury time before Wicklow came back to win it.

You'd have to fancy us at home anyway.

Here's a report for those who asked: http://www.independent.ie/sport/gaelic-games/gaelic-football/lowry-plays-captains-role-as-laois-u21s-power-past-louth-34483672.html

Some scoring by Evan O Carroll in half an hour. Enormous potential and already earning a reputation at senior level.

I really hope the injury isn't too serious.

redsetanta · February 26, 2016, 09:43:44 AM

He was my MOTM against Armagh. Love his running style. There's only one thing on his mind when he gets the ball and that's to run at the opposition.

maccer · February 26, 2016, 10:28:35 AM

Yeah Evan is a very exciting prospect. Very strong direct runner and well able to take a score. Just hope he doesn't turn into a 'one trick pony' and teams cotton on to his style. No harm if he's encouraged to mix it up a bit instead of constantly running with it

Junior Ex Laoistalk · February 28, 2016, 12:43:39 AM

Laois Under-21 Footballers will take on Wicklow next Wednesday @ 7.30pm in O'Moore Park.
The prize at stake for this one is a provincial semi-final. Good luck lads...

Evan O'Carroll won't play his done the hammy last week ...Lillis didn't want him to play the u21 game as he was feeling it after the Armagh game looks like he will be out for a few weeks now!

redsetanta · February 29, 2016, 02:04:08 PM

O'Carroll is a bog loss for the U21's and the seniors.

Same team listed as last week anyhow so at least one change. Without being complacent they should have enough to get over Wicklow either way.
