Great win tonight for our U-20 players in horrible conditions. Level at half time but really got stuck in  in the 2nd half and came out deserving winners. Wexford away next week..

Great to see us hitting 5 goals today in a game we were always going to win. The most important thing is that we kept going strong when we had a big lead, Laois teams in the past had a tendency to sit on a lead and more times than not got caught out when the opponent fought back.
On to Croker next Saturday and a great experience lying ahead for some of the squad who haven't played there before, that kind of thing is invaluable to young players. Let's hope we play to our best and give ourselves a great boost for the up and coming championship.
Well done all concerned...

Very good win today, that's a good Longford team. Great start for Justin and all the new additions. Ross really getting involved on the sideline, great to see.

Quote from: Junior Ex Laoistalk on January 14, 2024, 05:28:29 PMAny word on the game last night v Clare?
Laois won comfortably enough. Team for first league game will probably resemble last night's team with maybe Daly and Rioghan Murphy from the Wicklow game to be in contention too.
Thanks for that SCFC, that's good to hear. Fair play to all who turned out for the Wicklow game, especially the guys who weren't even part of the panel. Anyone who would do that on a cold morning deserves to be complimented..

Quote from: Mad Mentor on January 03, 2024, 01:26:29 AMI just had a quick peek at the website and it seems to have had quite a major overhaul. Upcoming fixtures clearly laid out and covering everything from senior intercounty through ladies football to schools competitions. Quite a comprehensive results archive as well - going back to 2017.

Just saw that, It's a major improvement on the old one, well done to whoever revamped it..

Quote from: Saint 1963 on January 03, 2024, 12:16:57 AMI've always thought Laois Today were doing a fine job but their failure to cover a fairly significant story pertaining to Laois GAA in early December has led me to reassess, given that the story made it into the national newspapers and was front page headline news on the Laois Nationalist!
 One wonders!🤔
Maybe its my age but I missed that story myself. Could you enlighten me please...

Saturday's Results:

Emo 2-8
Clonaslee-St Manman's 1-4

Graiguecullen 1-10
Stradbally 0-5

A downpour during the first half of the Clonaslee-St. Manman's game ruined the game and it never really got going for Clonaslee after that. Emo adapted to the conditions better and went on to win easily enough.

In the second game Graiguecullen dominated possession for the first 15 mins but found it hard to get scores and wasted a lot of possession with the wind and only led by 3 points at half time. Stradbally improved in the second half but some great defending by Graiguecullen kept them from putting scores on the board.
Stradbally were rightly awarded a penalty midway through the half when they were just 2 points behind but a brilliant save by Danny Bolger kept them out and Graiguecullen went down and scored two points which was the turning point of the game as Stradbally didn't score again after that. Graiguecullen finished off the game as a contest with a fabulous goal from Lee Walker who was the best player on view throughout the game.
Graiguecullen have added great pace to their game and have learned to control the game more and with a bit more consistency they could get to another final.
Strange to see that whoever produces the program have the Graiguecullen goalkeeper named as Danny Maher for the past few games even though he was the county goalkeeper 2 years ago. Very shoddy journalism and shows how much the Co. Board know about the players. Even Laois Today don't know his name is actually Danny Bolger which surprised me to be honest as they are doing great work covering sport within the county.

Eddie Kinsella Jesus


Never heard of him.
Is he any relation of Gabriel Jesus that plays with Arsenal?

No, you're thinking of Christ Jesus, Gabriels uncle. Come to think of it that's really who we need now ...
