Very little build up for the game v Carlow on Wednesday, which is no bad thing!  Quite a bit of work has been put in with these lads, albeit it has been very difficult to get the group together due to the number of players involved with the seniors.  It's the dream draw for ourselves, Carlow, Offaly and Kildare with the three big guns on the other side of the draw (where W'meath will be quietly confident too).  The loss last year to Carlow should guard against complacency. 

Colm Stapleton and Ciaran Collier will be big losses, but Laois should have enough to win this one.

This campaign kicks off this Wednesday and has seemed to slip in under the radar.  I don't know what Carlow will be like but we should be able to put out a very decent team.  We have 10 or 11 u21 players involved with the seniors and another group of 20 or so players have been training hard over the last few months as well.  The challenge is to get them all to gel together on the day now.
