Great win today for Laois. A huge improvement from the Cavan match and a well deserved two points for us.

A month on from the Cavan defeat.

I expect a much improved performance from Laois come Sunday. A win here would certainly boost our hopes of staying in the division. Fitness levels will have improved substantially in the last few weeks.

I'm very hopeful going into this game.

On a side note, its a long time since we played Roscommon in a competitive fixture. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe we haven't played them since 1995 or 1996 which was a league game in Portlaoise in which we won by a couple of points.

Want to commend the players and management on Wednesday nights brave display. Put a lot of pride back into Laois football which is badly needed.

Evan O'Carroll put in a massive shift and showed true leadership with his 2 excellent points early in the second half. Also a mention for Alan Farrell who looked lively and also got a fine goal early on to bring Laois into the game.

The scoreline flattered Dublin but they do look like a serious outfit who will take some stopping going forward this year.
