Interesting re B/K the Q I would ask is why. They may feel aggrieved that so many players were in with laois and not available to them. They perhaps feel that they need to win a senior title to vindicate the amalgamation and so Laois not performing gives fuel to the sense of waste that might be there of what they could be achieving with all their players. Perhaps that is the thing Cheddar felt too. Somehow the 2 playing club match was the distillation of all the negativity and seen by him as confirmation of a lack of faith and belief in him by a club or clubs and some players. Let's not forget the club's were a big part of laois previous woes. (I'm not dismissing the genuine club v county tensions that exist). I think cheddar wanted everyone to put the county first or at least he wanted to move away from the sort of dynamic where this sort of stuff goes on.
Ultimately I think BK people must have known that this was a direct undermining of cheddar but did it anyway. Or maybe they underestimated it's impact. Either way it was a poor move 2 weeks before Offaly. In many ways that game was to be a seminal moment in the cheddar project it still is in the Laois project but it's hard not to feel now like events off the pitch will define more closely where we are than those on. And that's a real sickener.
