Thoughts?

After following League and the Joe McDonagh Cup this last year, I think we are in for a "good, country ass-whoopin'", as they say out here in the rural west U.S.

I hope I am wrong.

LAOIS! LAOIS! LAOIS!

Depends who commits, and who doesn't. Ben Conroy is certainly out, and there'd be doubts over the likes of Ross King, Cian Taylor, Cahir Healy - and then there's the Camross crew. It'd be nice to see Ciaran Collier there, but how that pans out is anyone's guess. Joe Campion is another one...
The initial buzz around Eddie Brennan is probably fading a bit - and sure, he's still hurling away w/ his club.

Who on earth thinks Walsh Cup hurling in December is a good idea?
Well I could keep it above
But then it wouldn't be sky anymore

It is f*&king ludicrous. Hurling of any kind in December is mental. Who the hell would want to be an inter-county hurler?

Has a panel been rounded up? Or even a meeting?

Camross are to be asked to fulfill the fixtures until the new year

This would be funny. 15 Camross men in Laois Jerseys.

Two weeks away from the first match.

Any news?

The new manager is still hurling so hard to know what's happening.
The real glory is being knocked to your knees and then coming back. That's real glory. VinceLombardi

There was a meeting but not too many turned up

I hear a lot of the Rathdowney boys aren't going in. Also rumoured that Healy is going with the footballers, which would be a great shame.

Neither of these are a surprise. Hurling missed its window with cheddar, I don't see any saving it.
