[The Monument Road]

Ballylinan Glen 0-3 Josephs/Bhouse 5-12
Horrible and embarrassing beating from Josephs. The parish have 3 senior clubs supplying players to our minors and to get a beating like that bodes poorly for these clubs. In saying that Ballylinan/Glen lost two good players through injury...it would heve been a lot closer if they had been available

[Buffalobull]

Was at the Joes and Ballylinan match. Even with two players back it wouldn't have mattered, Joes/Bhouse dominated throughout and all over the pitch.

[Gmac]

Back in the day we (St michaels) used to dish out hammerings like this when there was 1 senior team and 1 junior team in the parish shows that all the turmoil in the area has really hurt the underage more than anything.

[Heshs Umpire]

Very impressive result for Joseph's Barrowhouse. Themselves and Port must be favourites. Portlaoise gone already, must be one of their earliest exits ever from the minor football?

[High Fielder]

Ballylynan/Glenmore were well short, particularly of their best players. In truth though, it wouldn't have mattered. Lads running around the pitch as if they had done it for the first time in their life. Literally thrown together and expected to do something. The two Arles clubs make a minimal contribution to this amalgamation and it just makes you wonder what the future holds

Just wondering are there two Portlaoise teams in the minor this year. The results section on Laois GAA website has them down as Portlaoise B...?

When the juvenile club St michaels was at its best mid 80s until early 90s arles were a junior team mostly maybe an intermediate team for a few years ,they were relegated from senior I would say 84/85 .

I'll agree to disagree with you on that one Gmac. I'd need to refresh my memory a bit. Arles were very strong during the 70s and early 80s at senior level if my memory serves me well. And when the row started they were a senior club.

Only one Portlaosie team I believe. Must be a mistake on the website.

[Junior Ex Laoistalk]

Thought that myself Buffalobull, thanks. Makes that victory for Graiguecullen all the more surprising. I think Portarlington are the strongest team at minor level this year and they will be hard to stop.

What a surprise..
