Sean Moore surely has to be given some league action with Laois next year . Very Impressive again last evening and has definitely filled out the past 18 months .
Ballylinan look a different animal with Walsh back in the frame.

Courtwood Ballylinan was one of the best club games I've seen in a while. Gary Walsh was left to do what he wanted and he did untold. Ballylinan are so much more dangerous now with him back, you wouldn't rule them out of reaching the county final. Niall Dunne's performance for Courtwood was absolutely brilliant. Such a class act, his fielding is unreal for a lad his age.

I was surprised that courtwood didn't put an extra defender back to close off the space. Ballylinan identified that and drew everyone out leaving Gary one on one and he made hay. Young Dunne was very good alright made a mockery of not starting for the u20s. Courtwood will feel they left it behind a bit. Niall Donoher even though he looked to be carrying an injury was absolutely class too

Was only in yesterday for the two Round 3 games. Poor enough stuff. Fierce disappointed in BA. Thought they would show more benefit of some very good underage teams. Maybe a little too soon for some of them?
Same with Emo. They have brought through a few very good lads in recent years but Graigue were just a bit cuter. Wasn't much in it really though. Could Graigue catch Port too? Not impossible...

Courtwood Ballylinan second half was fantastic

Yep we were disappointing but nothing between the teams back to drawing board for us.

Ballyfin will give ODemseys plenty of it . Port and Graigue is a toss up . Attride and  Walsh will be an interesting dual , can see Ballylinan pulling through . Joes won't get within ten points of Portlaoise .

Am I correct to assume quarter finals will be played on the weekend of 7/8 September ?

That's hurling weekend PK.
They'll be the following weekend. Format is alternate weekends with the EP weekend being left completely free.

Thanks Merman, totally forgot about Electric Picnic

No, it wasn't... :(
A bit of naivety on our part maybe. We really should have tried to tie up Gary Walsh a bit better than we did. But then again, we missed plenty at the other end too.
Not a bad draw for Ballylinan in the quarter final too. They'll know Killeshin well and it looks like another 50-50 game.
Well I could keep it above
But then it wouldn't be sky anymore

Pity there is no Laois senior manager to watch these games.

You can be sure there are a couple of fellas snaking around watching games in the hope of impressing in an interview!
These are lucrative jobs, a fella could earn a sizeable 5 figure sum for himself after all!
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled.......

I suspect that the All Ireland Football Final replay will clash with the timing of Laois SFC Quarter Finals. I hope the CB will change the timing of throw ins so that people, who wish to, can see the televised replay as well as attend the quarter finals.
