I still think we will go up leitrim might be Sligo

It's all up for grabs now if laois loose to leitrim but beat London it still won't be enough if wicklow win their two games .

But sligo v leitrim the last day could make for a twist too .

I think it will be wicklow and 1 other from Sligo laois and leitrim

Great coach who should have been kept longer at Laois .

Rest In Peace

Ballyfin have had some horrendous luck I  the draws over the last few years ...

Wicklow could seek I  yet .

A trend among Willie Maher interviews always draws back to 'lack of S and C over the years'.

So what has been happening in S and C among the senior hurling panel in this time? Since his appointment he says S and C among the group is at a ground level and will take years upon years to reach the standard of the big counties.

I find this statement very worrying.

I think it's a mask to hide behind in saying we are miles and miles behind the bigger teams .

I think we will get roasted in Belfast too

Let him walk ...Not a big loss


More important to get O'Carroll Finn and Byrne back for Saturday

Laois have had a good start but and in real transition and this division I think will be won by Sligo despite the 1sr day results

I agree about the lack of pace  around our middle but Lillis is composed and decent at reading breaks ...Finn has a presence we don't really have anywhere else on the field and is probably one of the most accurate long kickers of a ball we have ever had so despite lacking mobility they do add to the team.

Impressed with our tactics compared to last year we seem more structured in our defensive set up which can only help us going forward .

Paul kingston looks sharp and Evan is massive for us .

I'm looking forward to the next match

Any teams news ?

I was there not long back ...(few pit stops on the way)

Backs were excellent .

Lillis was good picked up a lot of Finn's breaks and tackles the latter is a superb kicker of a long ball and him and Evan have a great understanding as shown by the 2nd goal.


Lowry was lively early with Paul Kingston looking very fit and hungry .

We created 6 goal chances only got 3 I think on target and scored two .

Corbett might prove useful outfield yet but needs to sharpen up .

A lot players I just don't know about big big changes but they all seemed to be reading from the same page today and worked hard .

Sligo fans were disgusted I think they were expecting an easy win ..


Up Laois

Seem to.have a decent team

I left early cuuldnt watch it after 15 mins of the second half .

Truth is we will never ever compete with the big 9 as I call them .

Wins over Westmeath Kerry Carlow Kildare Meath etc is our level .

We might beat Antrim 1 game in 3 and maybe catch a team like Dublin or wexford if they were very below par but that's where we will always be at in the small.ball game.

You can blame Cheddar or who you like but it's just not in this county we dont have the pool of players to pick from

The white one the hurlers wore for the second half was class

Great chance for this improving Armagh side to stay up .

Great results from kildare too now to give them a chance .

Dublin and Monaghan looking at their fixtures will need to grind results out to stay in the mix
