Lost by two goals. Antrim alot more physical.

Best of luck to the lads.

[Antrim]

I think we will get roasted in Belfast too

Last two games away. Antrim on 12th March and Dublin on 19th March.
Antrim have been reasonably competitive this league campaign:
Antrim 0-15 V 1-18 Kilkenny compared to Laois 1-18 V 0-34 Kilkenny
Antrim 2-19 V 0-28 Dublin (Laois have yet to play Dublin, but could we keep it to three points?) Laois 0-18 V 2-32 Tipperary
Antrim 0-17 V 1-22 Waterford compared to Laois 2-19 V 2-31 Waterford

(Home teams bolded)

Antrim have scored 2 Goals and 51pts, conceded 2 Goals and 68pts
Laois have scored 3 Goals and 55pts, conceded 4 Goals and 97pts

While we are slightly better on scoring fronts, we're shipping thirty plus points and often when the opposition floats over points so easily, a goal or two comes with that.

We have to win more in the air and keep tighter to the opposition. Antrim are fairly physical and Belfast is an unforgiving ground for visitors.

Good 50 mins,mullaney did great up front,would love see Aaron dunphy inside for bit,could do with a worker around the middle,two lads nice wristy hurlers but missing bit of toughness.bad mix up with second goal which was a killer,fitness a bit off too but building quietly.least management trying out different options.more positives than negatives

Have to agree with alot of this - come post-Easter alot of folks won't be reminiscing about the league which really is a tournament to build up newcomers to any team.
Fair enough, it gets serious enough at the semis, but nobody will be loosing sleep over it come May.
Last night we lived with Waterford for long stretches, but everything collapsed post 55mins in. 

Paddy Purcell on the bench. Is he carrying a knock?

Heard he was on holidays?

Maybe he was and is just back - a well deserved one if he was and I hope the county board gave him a few bob too.

Christ on a bike €18 to get into Semple at 5pm on Saturday.

[gas to think all the lads here givin the cb shite]

the dan is in. thats an unreel management team. gas to think all the lads here givin the cb shite. they took there time and got the right men. few lads mite feel bit silly today

I would be of the opinion that an incoming county manager should be confirmed before the quarter final stages of the Laois hurling championship so that they get an opportunity to sample the best Laois club teams hurling do-or-die in order to grasp an appreciation for the state of the game west of Portlaoise.

dan is done

Is he onboard or not?

Brendan Bogler?

Down to Joe McDonagh for 2023. Kerry almost did the greatest of comebacks. That pointed free from a non tackle surely cost them.

Long range shooting let us down with a few very bad wides. We needed that early goal chance to go in to settle. Thought we made a few bad passing decisions. Pity about this result, a good minor team that done us proud all the same this year.

Watched him lord it in the air V Kilkenny hurling at U21 level a while back now - nobody lorded it in the air V the Cats in those days. An immense athlete and would have been the best at any sport he took up. Thanks for all of your service playing County JOL.

Good performance by the minors. If half our goal chances were converted we'd have won well.
Quinlan is a joy to watch.
Referee should have worn a Galway shirt.
All to play for V Clare next Saturday. I'd be quietly confident.

Is it not galway first at home next week?

Last week it clearly said on the GAA site that we would play the losing team from Galway V Clare.
Now it doesn't.
Strange.
Galway in Portlaoise tomorrow at midday I believe.
