The Line ups for the finals will be along the lines of this I reckon ...

That team could easily line out for Laois in the O Byrne Cup and do reasonably well. The point being : Portlaoise have good strenght all round the field in key areas : Stradbally are missing 4-5 players to compete at P'Laoise's level. The likes of Rogers, Boyle and Cahilane really excel at club level - Bruno too. Pity they don't have that extra gear in pace and athleticism required for the county. I've always thought Glynn could be good enough to work into the Laois side - he's got a very good football brain.

Anyway - Portlaoise by 7.

I have seen all of portlaoise games this year and I have to say Rogers poor enough by his own standards. Thus far I would give Bruno senior player of the year hands down

Can't argue with that I've seen maybe all but 4 games in the whole championship Bruno ,Lillis ,Kingston and Colm Begley have been excellent....
LAOIS ABÚ

town1980

New to this whole set up but by far them lads have been excellent,,,Bruno for me the main man again for portlaoise,,, 35 years of age and runing the show,,, without doinie Kingston the old me of Arles are gone,, joes babbey port I all see over taking kileen kilcruise from Nxt yr on ,,, stradbally looking fit and lean but haven't played against a defensive system yet this will be crucial to see how they react if the town play this way

Will Zac not be making his annual appearance for Portlaoise this year ??

Some of the names being mentioned here won't do at county level. They just don't have the work rate required. All perfectly good footballers, but pace and work rate is miles ahead of club standard. Attride, Begley and Healy are typical of what you need nowadays. You have to work just as hard without the ball as you do with it. On The Forty has said it elsewhere and I agree with him; we need to change how we think about football in Laois.

Not coming home this year.

Portlaoise have been so far ahead that Zac's involvement didn't make much of a difference.

There's great rivalry between the two towns so it will be an interesting final.
The real glory is being knocked to your knees and then coming back. That's real glory. VinceLombardi

It's probably time he started thinking about his future career. Playing meaningless club matches could impact in his fitness. What Portlaoise really need is for him to surface later in the year, to help them with a Leinster run.

If true it's good to see him home. Always had great time for him since his minor days. Good luck to him if he makes himself available next sunday

Change of plan so. Contract negotiations still ongoing. Should make it interesting for Sunday.

Was thinking he would make it in time for the final. Still think it is wrong to allow a professional athlete to play in the final of a competition that he had no hand, act or part in up till now and won't be involved in any of the club championship games if they win it. I have nothing but admiration for Zack but I think the ruling on this type of participation is wrong and unfair to whoever they met in the county final.
