Sure we're lucky to be on the same field as you lads.

Hope your hurlers aren't as sectarian as your footballers  ;)

We've quite a lot of lads from "mixed" marriages on the team

The hurlers are a far more gentleman-y lot!

As for Saturday the Down lads won't fear Laois based on their last meeting where we were still in the game with 10 minutes to go.

Eoghan Sands may be a big loss due to his straight red card, but I'd expect Down to appeal that decision this week, but we'll know more later this week...

A few other injuries to clear up this week could mean Down playing from a full hand, which they didn't have in the first meeting..

Looking forward to Saturday now 😀

Feel parts of the pitch will be under pressure the next few weeks . 5/6 games scheduled for OMP before the 10th of April.

I heard there was some good hurling, back there, today.

Congratulations to the lads!!!
LAOIS! LAOIS! LAOIS!

Yes, some good hurling, all right. However, even though they scored 1-24, they surely left another 3-20 behind them. Need to be a lot more clinical - and need a proper free-taker, too. Surprised King didn't step up to them, but his first game back was only middling. Impressed by Quinlan, Dooley, and Mossy Keyes, who was fouled plenty. Liam O'Connell caught some good ball, and Purcell was much better. However, Down got very tired in the second half, and were no match for our lads in terms of fitness, or touch. The Carlow game will be a good barometer of how much they've actually improved.

Yes, with what I've heard so far, Jer Quinlan sounds like quite a hurler. How long has he been playing at the Senior County level?
LAOIS! LAOIS! LAOIS!

Good performance no great fear of going to carlow next week for the final slot of lads done well today I taught Martin Phelan was outstanding got 2 scores and made 5 or 6 more.

You're right, great performance from Phelan. He's an awkward hurler, but works like a dog and wins ball he's not entitled to. As the young lad said, he could have the ball, lose it for nothing, and then win it again from 10 lads around him!

Well done to the hurlers today and best of luck next weekend - Carlow has been a bogey team for us in recent times.

NHL Division 1B 2025
Waterford, Dublin, Westmeath, Offaly, Antrim, Carlow, Laois

A much improved format for the League next year
- only Waterford might consider themselves head and shoulders above the rest.

County Man

Congratulations to the hurlers on promotion to Division 1B.

A bit of silverware to play for next week against Carlow before the massive game against Offaly on April 20 in the Joe McDonagh cup.

Our lads never turned up sadly, but well done Laois probably better suited to Div1B than us.

The Carlow game is just for a bit of tin, yesterdays game was more important.

Good weekend hurlers and fballers gone up a Div👍👍
