Some goal fest!!!!! Why isn't there any media coverage of the Joe McDonagh cup. Like that was some intense game. Although Antrim slaughtered Kerry by 3-19 to 0-14. Antrim next in O'Moore Park. Another win needed!

Quite a good bit of talent. Captain Tadhg Cuddy and wing-forward Dan Delaney caught the eye. Corner-back Ian Shanahan played well too. Laois got good start but let Westmeath back into the game. Westmeath only scored twice in the second half and only scored two points from play in total. Their keeper puck-outs got them scores. The Laois lads got a talking to at half time and scored 1-11 without reply. 1-5 to 0-5 at the break. Should win Tier 2!

The national Hurling League is a joke. Why not have the top 8 teams in div1 and work a top 4  2 semi semi final and bottom 4 relegation semis loser goes straight down. Have your next 8 in div2  top and bottom 4 similar to div 1. There is no point in Carlow Laois and Westmeath getting six or seven hammerings next year and trying to take anything from it. Give them games where they have a realistic chance of winning and whoever is good enough to go up will at least be the best of the rest.

The championship suits the better teams as well.

Westmeath have hard draw but Laois will have to work hard. Limerick were casual on Saturday night but Laois were working hard throughout despite huge loss, only problem area is full forward line but again comes down to lack of forwards. Joe Phelan had another good game and Kavanagh had another good performance. Brennan has done excellent work. Short puck outs didn't work well but overall conclusion was Laois worked hard and tried all way through but All-champions are at a whole different level.
