Brother of Aaron's I presume. Two very good minors.

How far off fitness is Palmer and Picky?

Lets be honest lads, this was the first competitive game of the season a week after Christmas against a team of players who kow they have to bust a gut to get a smell of the KK jersey come the league and championship.

Of that KK team how many will start come the league? Can the same be said of the Laois team? Stay in 1b and play the tier 2 final in Croke Park in the summer is all we should be concerned about right now.

The professionalism of the game and the widening gap is for a different argument.

For anyone at the game last night, of the new lads who performed well for Laois?

Just curious to know who you would have in there that hasn't been asked already. What players are better than the current squad?

Please don't include lads that were asked and declined or lads that are injured at the moment.

KK really racking up the scores in the second half. Sounds like it was reasonable competitive for the first 15mins or so.

KK in O'Moore Park tomorrow evening under lights. Most probably an U21 team however most of the Laois team will be of the same age so a good test for them. Not often we get to play the cats and hopefully the lads are up for the challenge.

First game of new campaign tomorrow.

Few new faces in and King captain again for the year. Good to see Joe Phelan of Camross in the team.

Were they in B last year or the year before?

What clubs aside from Rathdowney would most of the students be from?

It will be very experimental I'd say with the league beginning early and many of the older players carrying knocks or out injured.

Be a case of looking at lads and how they compete at the higher level.

Even Dempsey was thinking about the post match celebrations!

They thought they were home and hosed and they had started the time wasting, cynical fouling (black card and a sending off) etc After switching off like that it's wasn't possible switch back on as Moorefield were like men possessed.

The centre backs run to win that ball that led to the goal was one of those where he went through the gap without fear of de-capitation. Got possession and fired it into the square.

There'll be a song written about it no doubt!

Depends which side of the fence you're on!

FAir enough it didn't go straight over but he got to take it from the 45 as opposed 55 or 60 metres out. Great leap from Sweeny to knock it back and they got the bit of luck.

Lomans didn't pay enough attention to the Portlaoise v Moorefield game. Some comeback again.

They'll be toasting Billy O'Loughlin in Newbridge and burning his effigy in Mullingar.

His bravado kicking the ball away gave the Moorefield kicker the yards he needed to put it over.
