How much of that was down to Carlow's blanket defence under Stephen Poacher,or was any of it

There are close to 1100 boys in primary schools in Portlaoise Parish,how many of these would be playing or getting coached in the parish clubs?.
id wager no more than 20%-30% at the very most.
As for Graiguecullen,dont think ive ever seen them travel to an U8/10 Go Games fixture and the amount of underage games they conceded last year across all the age groups was nothing short of a disgrace.
Quote from: BallyroanAbu on July 30, 2016, 08:47:37 PMIf i remember correctly Graigue were 11 or 12 points down in the second half and came back to win...Hardly what you would call a fluke.
My money would be on Ballylinan, What have Graigue done to be rated highly? Back a few years ago Graigue fluked a win against Portlaoise in the 1st round they certaintly thought alot of it then.

We have dropped our standards everywhere both in administration and the playing field. I for one am not happy with these types of statistics and carefree attitudes by those involved (players and administrators)
Player of the year; Mark Timmons (honourable mention Garoid O Halloran )
Goal of the year; Conor Meredith V Armagh (1st Game ), (Honourable mention Stephen Attride V Dublin )
Points of the year; Gary Walsh Frees V Armagh.
Win of the year; Refixed game V Armagh.
Moans of the year ; Relegation, 2nd half V Clare, Donie Kingston's Form.

What the hell is wrong with Kingston ?
Quote from: blueandwhite1 on June 20, 2016, 02:15:27 PMI think that is the Dublin game you are referring to...he was very poor last Sat. he won only 1 long ball in the whole game. In the second half he was too far out from goal to be a danger and didnt seem too eager to get on the ball. Something just isn't right with him this year for whatever reason.Quote from: ILikeStrawberryJam on June 20, 2016, 02:04:03 PM
Donie is so frustrating. When he's good he's unmarkable but he tries to do too much too often. Maybe
its being captain.
What is he supposed to do? He is being left on his own in the full forward line marked by 2 or 3 lads yet he still seems to be able to win bad balls, turn and find space for a shot. There usually is nobody to break the ball to or no runners within 30 yards. I think he is playing really well and performing heroics. Nothing to do with being captain. We were very very lucky to get over the line on Saturday with such an inept forward system. Compare that to Cavan, Tyrone or Galway over the weekend when there always seemed to be options and everyone knew their job. Imagine if there was a plan in Laois?
Quote from: south Laois on June 19, 2016, 03:13:35 PMIn fairness he has been the stand out player this year, the job he done on Bernard Brogan was magnificent, and he didnt get half the credit he should have for it.
In the first round of the qualifiers, it's all about getting over the line especially against a team like Armagh. I thought we showed a lot of heart and closed out the game well. I thought Timmons was immense.
