That's one hell of a tough side of the draw for the Laois champions.

It's still one hell of a tough draw...

The PRO

Both Courtwood and Annanough are guaranteed places in Leinster this year even before they play county finals.
Courtwood because Mountmellick Gaels aren't a club on their own and Annanough because O'Dempseys are a second team.

Leinster Club IFC Quarter Final (Extra time if necessary)
Louth or Meath Reps​​v​Courtwood

Leinster Club JFC Quarter Final (Extra time if necessary)
Westmeath or Louth Reps​v​Annanough

SCFC

All three of our football representatives in Leinster are out next weekend.
Courtwood and Annanough are both away on Saturday to Louth teams.
And then Portlaoise are also away on Sunday to Moorefield.
Tough games I think. Could conceivably lose all three.

Portlaoise won't lose, Courtwood are pretty decent intermediate champions.  I have no idea on Annanough.

Laoiseabu

If Portlaoise play the way they did against O'Dempseys they will be in bother. I don't know about Courtwood cause I know nothing about the louth champions. Same with Annanough . Courtwood recently got a 20+ point beating by Portlaoise in a recent challenge Game so I wouldn't be too excited about them .

Jd

I think Portlaoise will go well in leinster.  Their  championship  starts now and they are probably the second best team in leinster. I was impressed  with courtwood  in the intermediate  but they finished  up six weeks  ago and while I fancy them to advance I know  that the Louth team have had three hard matches in the past few weeks which will have them well ready for a tough battle.  I've seen annanough a few times and they never impress me but got the job done.  I think they're  not really set up for a run in leinster  but now they'll go and prove me wrong but I feel their lack of pace might be their undoing

It's hardly possible to build anything if frustration, bitterness and a mood of helplessness prevail

Whose the best team in Leinster so ?
Kilmacud Crokes?
They were the best in Dublin THIS year. Dosent necessarily mean they are the best in Leinster I'd imagine . Only time will tell I suppose

portlaoisekid

Moorefield seem to think its a matter of turning up against Portlaoise. I feel it might be tougher than they think and also Kilmacud could will be done over by Dunboyne.

Don Draper

Courtwood are a lovely side, but I would fear the heavier ground might not play to their players strengths. Annanough on the other hand might be built for this time of year. Time will tell.
