IMO they only serve to aid the "let's go back training earlier" brigade. I'd imagine outside managers love these kind of competitions.

Precisely. Horrible things. I see the Hurling had been devalued even further this year
Majority of counties have these competitions in some way, you dont have to enter it if you dont wish to, at least this year the gales teams are there to provide something new, if it wasnt kelly/palmer cup it be practice matches or more training
Any early bets on eventual winners??
are all above teams playing in this competition???

Im hearing that Timahoe have pulled out of the competition
To be fair they have a serious amount of players with the senior laois panel 1 or 2 with the minor 21 panel and no doubt a couple hurling. Pulled out of div 1b last year as well. Hope they kick on and get promoted next year. Far better team than the gaels up senior this year
A club that has always given us county players ,,,, two o connors ramsbottom n quigleys injured that kills a lot of clubs..... I see graigcullen v joes in the final of the Kelly cup ,,, last years winners were stead and looked the way there year panned out :-X,,div 1 a I see Bally abbey and Killeen maybe go down

WTF does that mean ?? ::)
Thanks SCFC. ;D ;D
sorry i meant strad,,but it was commented that the kelly cup was a nothing competition but i disagree stradbally set the tone for there year by winning this competition last year and had a good division one league,,i think the joes who have a full compliment this year of players bar young kelly will be very strong in the kelly cup league and championship this year

Good wins for graigcullen and Joesphs,,as stated earlier I predict both of these in the final if kept apart with the winner from these two,,,,,
Terrible result for Killeen, I know they were short the Kingston's but they should be able to put up more than 3 scores in 70 mins.. What's going on there ???

No need to panic...long term plans are in operation.
Arles V St Josephs
Arles were well beaten in the end but led 5 points to no score early on and St Josephs got some very soft goals to get them back into it. Arles were very good considering they were missing David, Ross & Kevin and St Josephs had a full contingent although they were bringing on substitutes for fun.

Kelly Cup Semi-finalEmo 2-10
Stradbally 0-15A late Ian Murphy goal was the key score as Emo turned around a nine-point half-time to deficit to book their place in the Kelly Cup final.
Playing with the aid of a strong wind, Stradbally led by 0-12 to 0-3 at the break.
But Emo launched a big comeback in the second half. Player-manager Paul Lawlor got the revival underway with an early goal and points from him, David Gorman, Shane Murphy, Cian Langford and Nigel Murphy eat into the Stradbally lead.
Stradbally rallied a bit but Emo sub Ian Murphy – only on the field a matter of minutes – struck for the winning score.
Tom Shiel – who has suffered huge injury frustrations over the last couple of seasons – scored 0-7 for Stradbally while Colm Kelly hit 0-4.
St Joseph's and Killeshin meet in the second Kelly Cup semi-final on Sunday with Emo meeting the winners in the final next Friday night.
SCORERS – Emo: Paul Lawlor 1-4, Ian Murphy 1-0, Nigel Murphy and Cian Langford 0-2 each, David Gorman and Shane Murphy 0-1 each. Stradbally: Tom Shiel 0-7, Colm Kelly 0-4, Brendan Lawlor 0-2, Jody Dillon and John Clancy 0-1 each

Any result from last nights final ?
Postponed
Postponed again due to request from St Josephs
The Kelly Cup final will finally go ahead tonight in Crettyard
Emo V St Joseph's: 19:30 @ Crettyard
Josephs won 1-12 to 11pts, pretty much level all the way thru after josephs went 3pts to nil up in the first 5 mins. Ciaran Ramsbottom goaled with the last kick of the game leaving a slightly unfair look to the score board from an Emo perspective.
Here's a report from Laois.ie:
St Joseph's 1-12
Emo 0-11
A Ciaran Ramsbottom goal in the dying minutes eventually decided an entertaining Kelly Cup decider in St Joseph's favour in Crettyard this evening.
And St Joseph's, who have been the form team in the county this year and lead Division 1A having only lost one of their opening ten 10 games will be hoping this is just the first trophy they lift this year.
They were pushed all the way by an Emo side who will play in the intermediate championship and who have been struggling in Division 1B. But Ramsbottom's goal eventually settled the issue in favour of the Kellyville outfit.
The sides were level 0-7 each at the break with Emo keeping in touch thanks to Paul Lawlor's frees and points from play from Nigel Murphy, Shane Murphy and Chris Gleeson. Dylan Doyle accounted for four of St Joseph's points in the opening half with Dan Dunne and Mattie Campion also on target.
Nigel Murphy and Paul Lawlor added Emo's points in the second half but Ramsbottom's late goal ensured the silverware for St Joseph's.
SCORERS – St Joseph's: Dylan Doyle 0-6, Ciaran Ramsbottom 1-1, Dan Dunne 0-2, Jason Campion and Mattie Campion 0-1 each. Emo: Paul Lawlor 0-5, Nigel Murphy 0-3, Shane Murphy 0-2, Chris Gleeson 0-1
ST JOSEPH'S: Aaron Cooney; Tom Dunne, Aidan Brennan, Adam Campion; Murtagh Condron, Dan Dunne, Willie McDonald; Cathal Fleming, James Smith; Paddy Hickey, Mattie Campion, Liam Kealy; Dylan Doyle, Jason Campion, David Brennan. Subs: Conor Kealy for Aidan Brennan (black card), Ciaran Ramsbottom for A Campion, Peter Kealy for Hickey
EMO: David Whelan; Paddy Dunne, James O'Rourke, Sean Ryan; Nigel Murphy, Niall Wheeler, Pauric Kirwan; Brian Gorman, Mark Carney; Cian Langford, Shane Murphy, Chris Gleeson; Rory Meredith, Paul Lawlor, Dylan Lawlor. Subs: Dylan Langford for Meredith

Would you not post up the link and give them a bit of traffic? Also it was from laoistoday.ie.
Sorry Don, my mistake. Are you always complaining, I put up a lot of links here from laoistoday.ie and I've never seen you thanking me...
Here's one for you, might stop you giving out for a few minutes.

The man is trying to make a living, and the Laois public are benefiting from it. No need to get so snarky. Traffic is his bread and butter.
Exactly, and he's doing a great job. That's why I post so many links to his website. I forgot once and you hit me with it but no mention of the number of links I DO post.
How many times have you posted a link to that great website ??

I dont spam the board with articles, but when I do, I'll link to them instead of robbing content by copying and pasting.

Thanks pal, I appreciate the positive back up.
Don, I think I copied and pasted once and that was because I couldn't get the link to work but I must have put up hundreds of links. Look here at the Newspaper Items thread and you will see what I mean. I am fully aware how important linking websites is to the owners of those sites and that's the reason I do it.
