Kilcruise V Cretty has to be Kilcruise with Cretty having no Ballinakill players, all those for amalgamations would think again if they had this one.   
Oh dear

Ouch imagine what they would be like when Ballinakill come only two Spink players.  Fair play to Crettyard Gaels is this the first time they have been in a semi final of the senior.

In fairness its a great day for cretty and indeed the few spink lads, having said that you do the to fear this could be the start of a very steep fall for a kilcruise team who for the last 15 years have made the absolute most of what they had (unlike their fellow villagers)

From county finalists to relegation. Only thing predictable about the senior championship is Portlaoise winning it.

Fair play to Josephs but you only get one shot at Portlaoise.

true, honestly didnt think anyone would come close to the town this year, serious effort.

Credit to Josephs, but they hardly did anything ground breaking. It was a seriously flat Portlaoise performance, and that is becoming a theme most years for them now. They always seem to put in at least one very ordinary display. We never see the best of Portlaoise in the Laois Championship, and even in the first round of Leinster, they can look ring rusty. They also don't benefit from a very poor in standard Laois Championship. One player dominated the whole evening's football, and to be honest, it was frightening how far ahead Donal Kingston was of any other player on that field yesterday. Frightening because he had nowhere near that sort of influence for Laois this year, which tells you a lot about what we're watching. Defences were abysmal yesterday, particularly in the Killeen/Ballyroan game.

Portlaoise lack leaders and a bit of ruthlessness. They could do with finding a couple of lads who don't mind getting their hands dirty. It can all look a bit nice at times.

Fair play to Joseph's ,they were excellent and their game play was spot on and they could not have asked for things to pan out better . Although Portlaoise played into their hands it was a serious effort from Joseph's and the replay is by no means a foregone conclusion but at least that clown of a referee won't be in charge ,he is in good company in this company in Laois but by god he is a walking joke .

Great effort by Joseph's really tested portlaoise. First 20 mins was so much faster than previous game. Other teams tried to play like that v portlaoise but didn't have the pace to move the ball when they won it or fitness to last the hour. Joseph's do.

That game will bring portlaoise on though after the long lay off. You'd imagine they'll learn from last night. Whoever wins the replay will be in great condition for rest of championship.

Flynn tried to let game flow but some decisions were baffling. Luckily it was 2 teams out to play good fast football
