In the region of 160 u10s present for the first night of new Setanta programme. Well done to all involved. Absolutely fabulous initiative
I'd need to so it live again, the ref could have had more support from his team and allowed them to give him a better judgement on it.. Its always handier if your linesman says defo red striking/dangerous play..
The fact that he didn't pull in with two hands on stick and lose the grip on the stick intentionally that would have been the difference between a soft red or a lucky yellow..
You ask the question did he intend to do the man? or did he intend to get the ball and man? I think he was in two minds tbh and that's why he let go of the stick, I haven't seen that side to him too often and had it been Gearoid Hegarty you'd have no issues with thinking intent or not..
Home leinster final next Monday night great news. County board should try encourage all clubs to bring there juvenile teams to it for support and show the juvenile teams they can be there down the line. Surely we could do some deal on tickets for the underage teams.
All U16s free, €15 otherwise - no concessions for students/OAPs. Online sales only: https://www.universe.com/events/electric-ireland-leinster-mhc-final-2022-laois-v-offaly-tickets-XGWL5QCouldn’t agree more
There’s a full program of u13 hurling and u17 hurling games for next Monday night
They should be all rescheduled and a plan put in place now to get every juvenile in the county into OMP next Monday nigh
Yes, those U13 games should be rescheduled, I'd imagine the U17 games are a given to be rescheduled anyways?

Don’t cod ourselves we are brutal inter county hurling and football lowest of the low this year you can blame the county board but unfortunately I don’t think we have the players of old
Sounds like Laois County Board.
Like many county boards really. Same problem only worse in Mayo this week. Hard to serve two masters.
By u15 its clear enough who is A and B at each grade surely or is nobody watching these players?
All of them. The process is tainted and isn't working for us. It's political to its very core and discourages good people from getting involved. I'm not saying they're not good people because I'm sure they are. But they've clearly run out of ideas and when that happens your time should be up. New appointments to the Laois CB are only ever a continuation of what preceded them. Like minded people who do the same things but have a different name. It's clear we need a change and getting rid of Billy or Cheddar won't be enough. Just my opinion. No doubt many will disagree and fair enough. But I've made up my mind
The volunteers make the decisions. They hold the power. They are responsible for the hiring and firing. Eddie Brennan was right about them imo, and it's fairly obvious a lot of coaches took note.
A different question entirely. Happy enough to see the CB gone for now. Did you serve as a CB officer? Or am I mistaken? Apologies if I have the wrong person

Another awful hammering. Is there no end to it? Across all levels and codes it seems. You have to wonder how and why we're getting it so badly wrong. You have to wonder why there is no plan in place to address this. Just a report at the end of every year to say what we already know. O'Moore Park is nearly as much use to other counties as it is to us, because we don't have a team capable of half filling it. It's embarrassing and it's been going on a long time. I'll reiterate that I have no faith in our County Board and I'd be delighted if they all resigned. Things really can't get much worse for us.

What a woeful piece of journalism. Miller and Hartnett should be ashamed of themselves. I seemed to have missed the podcast that suggested that the footballers would be better off dropping down to the tailteann cup. I can't understand for the life of me why they can't get someone who has an actual understanding of hurling on their podcast. The answer to a bad year of hurling is not to drop down.
Unlike what Miller likes to believe, the problem lies with the management and the county board. Cheddar was a quick fix for an embarrassing situation following the fallout with Eddie Brennan. As I said last year after the match against Wexford, the writing was on the wall. Cheddar doesn't have a game plan, he uses all the correct phrases but if you actually listen to what he is saying it's all fluff and no substance. He doesn't listen to the players at all and the excuses with injuries is just pathetic at this stage. Good players have dropped off the panel, the lads still on the panel are at their wits end and the support from the team has plummeted to an all time low.
I hope Cheddar does the right thing and steps down after this season. He's given a lot to Laois and it would have been better if he retired from inter county management on a high note. Just hoping that the lads can get it together for a win over Westmeath and regroup.
