U2os out tonight. Doesn't look an overly strong team but should have enough for Westmeath.

Best of luck indeed. Won't be easy particularly in a as timer conditions this evening in Portlaoise.
U20's with a 6 point win after extra time laois were 15 points up at one stage and then needed a late free to bring the game to extra time.
where was David Dooley not listed on the team or subs after been selected to play with the senior team earlier in the year only to be ruled out because he was to young for senior inter county hurling

Laois hurlers are better than that display Today.
the tacti's were way off 14 players in midfield and defense for most of the first half, how could we be competitive when we had no outball.
management have to take a lot of the blame for this display.
it would have been a shock if  laois were to win but no shock if we were competitive, I have to say we cannot blame the hurlers for this embarrassing display.

No.1to 15 Offaly put in a better performance.
our have back line could not in any 50/50 ball.
forwards persisted in trying to run trough the Offaly defense all the time.
free taking was very poor compared to Offaly.
when you come up against a team you have to win the majority of 50/50 tussles we were completely dominated all over the field
and looked like a tired team bereft of ideas and drive.
very very disappointing result for a team that went intothe championship with such high expectations.

I agree the abuse from supporters of both teams was at times way over the top. I would know most supporters from both teams and it is amazing how some people behave in the heat of the moment.
I would have to say that both sidelines were well behaved and did not involve in nasty stuff.

On another note Rosenallis won U17 football championship tonight defeating the Heath by one point.
Good game could have gone either way, great week for Rosenallis and hopefully more success to come next weekend.

nothing really,
Clonaslee had a player sent off in the first half for an off the ball incident.
and another in the second half for a second yellow card.
Rosenallis and Clonaslee had a player each sent off in injury time black card and second yellow respectively.
match was close and exciting put the quality of football was poor.
no trouble on the side line and certainly none of the antics that went on during Portlaoise and Portarlington.
possibly best football team but we were lucky to hang on in the end.

not in the least bit surprised, Camross have been getting away with thuggery for years and the C.B. are always glad to turn a blind eye and reward them.
other clubs do not get the same leniency. I agree with suspension of Stapleton
but the ability or lack of ability of the Tipperary ref has to be questioned following his performance in semi final and final.

do not expect Camross to do anything, they have the cup and they are all applauding the fact that they took Ross out of the game and now have a hero.
this is the norm from that club and the sad fact that the C.B. have failed to take action for years now is a huge shame on them and certainly need some explanation.
the referee was a farce and one would think corrupt why else would he deliberatly ignore the linesman's advice of a straight red card.
i am sick of this year in and year out and the performance of our county hurling team reflects this.
I am seriously considering telling the C.B. to get lost when they issue the €130 tickets in 2019 why should anyone support this shambles.

Hurling in Laois was the big looser Yesterday.
Camross have been at this for years taking players out by whatever means they see fit and referees and county board turn a blind eye to this clubs thuggery year after year no wonder hurling is in decline in this county. any young person or parents looking on at that act yesterday would want to be mad to have ambitions to excell at the game of hurling.
the count board and the referee will hide behind the fact that a yellow card was issued and in truth neither will give one concern about player welfare. shame on Laois gaa for letting Camross club continue to get away with this year after year and shame on camross for encouraging the take him out at all cost.
why should Camross change when the C/B let them and no other club away with it they reap the rewards.

Was at the match.  If anything it was a very subdued affair.  Was right in front of the incident and was handbags at best but obviously Ross got a very unwarranted belt. Camross started sluggishly but were worthy winners playing against the breeze in the second half.
Refereeing standard was very low and no real flow to the game.
agree with most of what you say but the reality of the situation is, Camross should have been down to 14 players, Ross king was a huge loss to R/E and in reality R/e were 3 points up before Ross king was assaulted and after his removal from the field Camross took control of the game and won under a cloud.no doubt Camross will celebrate the win with little or no regard for the outcome of the thuggery inflicted on Ross King. the lack of action from the referee will be protected by Laois GAA. the incident clearly had a vital say in the outcome of the game and once again in Laois  very wrong actions get the reward.

Not a mention of it on the Laois Gaa video of it.
Sweep it under the carpet, never let on it happened, referees are above criticism same old story year after year and yet players are expected to come together and give their all for the county Shame on Laois hurling again.
what was going on off the ball all during the match in front of 7 rules officials and at times brought to the attention of the referee was what we expect to come to see from Camross and the continued blind eye shown to the thuggery from this club is the norm. almost every other Club in the county would be severely punished with red cards and more.
P.G. Ross will make a good recovery and will still have the appetite to hurl for Laois where hopefully the type of incident that led to his injury will not see favor from proper officialdom.

Was it a strike with the hurl into the face? Roddy up in a Dublin hospital anyhow
If Camross have any credibility, the player in question should not be seen on the field for the rest of the year at the very least. Doubt that will happen. I don't think type of stuff will be stamped out unless someone goes the legal route. We had an incident in the courts earlier in the year where the Judge was fairly candid on the GAA's attitude to violence.

the problem is that Camross will see nothing wrong with this.

When the ref overrules the linesman who was right in front of it you have to question the ref without a doubt
there will be no action against the Camross player or club for what is another underhand deliberate incident involving a player from that club what sickened me most was the way the Camross mentors /management were praising and the player involved, for years this club has got away with this type of dirt within this county. referees for some reason turn a blind eye even after the linesman brought the incident to the attention of the referee he still decided that this is acceptable from camross players and yet any similar incident from any other club would result in  a straight red card and rightly so.

take your point on C/B.
I am just wondering if their is any way that club hurling could become more competitive and less predictable in the hope that Laois could develop into a more competitive county and at least win the McDonagh cup.
it is not easy to get commitment from players that can see no light at the end of the tunnel. I think it would be worth considering a league based on regional teams with a view to select a county panel.

Congratulations to Slieve Bloom a great achievement, love to see them do well in the senior A championship next year.
Chris Hartnett doing great work with Mountmellick, they will be a force in the intermediate championship next year.
Portlaoise or The Harps will struggle in the senior championship next year very hard to compete at that level without an amalgamation. R/E, C/B, B/K. I know the harps are an amalgamation and Portlaoise should be a much stronger outfit with the numbers they have, but hurling is the poor relation in Portlaoise. Ballyfin , Clonaslee, Rosenallis are at their level and on their own would be way off the mark at senior.
Maybe it would be worth a look at a regional team championship on the lines that is proposed for the football
