Danny is back at the Harps, we were happy to help him realize a childhood dream "winning a senior county title".  Which made Danny and all his family very proud but then they are all proud Ballyroan people.

BallyroanAbbey are you from Ballyroan ? If you are a member you are more than welcome to pop up the the AGM and state your case,  I am not entirely sure what you mean in regard to poaching players.  I would say that we facilitate football for players from clubs that do not have football teams at juvenile level as we have done since I was a child.  But then if you were from Ballyroan and a Ballyroan Abbey member you would know this and that one of our objectives is to promote football.

Laois U15 & Laois U17 football champions 2018  I think we are doing something right.

Did I not see a chap from Durrow kick in goals for Laois and he a ballyroan abbey man. In recent history I saw two of our lads charlie and podge tog out in a minor b final again the rock and abolutely thumped them. It was like the whole county minor hurling team that year togged for ballyroan again " the rock".
I am also delighted with your recent success and I attended all three finals. But it is only apt as ye do have the second biggest pick in the county

We got off the point a little, BallyroanAbú there's no need to get your knickers in a twist over a junior C football team that is yet to be created. And my god your knickers certainly are in a twist. Hopefully all this nonsense will be over soon and we can get back to normality.

Also thought that this should of happened with us and abbeyleix when they decided to go together. Either go the full way with it or dont do it, half measures dont cut it.

Kind of a funny arrangement with Abbeyleix? Ye changed yer name, what did they do?

Jumped into bed with Ballinakill

Relax, ye have lads from rathineska, raheen, shanahoe, ballacolla, mountrath, durrow, abbeyleix, ballypickas and ballyroan to chose from. A few auld lads kicking junior C won't upset ye too much. IF it goes ahead of course, IF

Its as cowardly a move as has been seen in a long time, they have taken the easy way out instead of trying to take the final step, both have been to semi finals in recent years, i hope they remember that for every rathdowney/errill there is a harps also

You have to imagine that Ballinakill are the ones instigating all of this. You cannot blame them, competing against big amalgamations. Village v Town and Village. They don't have a chance. Kids playing in clubs all over the place in underage teams. Any teams on their own competing in the "B".
But I suppose BallyroanAbbey has a point, it would be taking the cowards way out like the people of Rathdowney, errill,borris in ossory, kilcotton, castletown, slieve bloom, durrow, cullohill, clough, ballacolla, timahoe, rathineska have done in recent years/decades. Actually I'm going to toss camross in there too (Camross, Killenure, Colraine)What kind of a chance would ballinakill have if all of those teams were still on their own
However the rewards for cowardice are greater than ever. Interesting times ahead though, hopefully both clubs Alan Hartnett will keep Alan Hartnett involved in the negotions so the whole county can get all the gossip.

Stapleton gets a ban for a comment on social media. Camross player's get no repurcussions for their actions on social media.🤐

Had to set up an account just to give my two cents worth on the county final. The referee is question, who we all thought was the savior of refereeing in Laois hurling was well and truly found out. After what happened in the semi final between Camross and Borris I dont know how he was let back into O Moore Park. Striking off the ball with the hurl is a red, with this lad you can get two or three good pulls in, aswel as the usual fisticuffs and handbags knowing a red card wont appear.
Camross should have been down to 13 men after 25 minutes and the players in question taking 2/3 game bans into next years championship. The player in question I believe was taken off soon after much to the disappointment of every Rathdowney/ Errill and neutral fan in O Moore Park.

Get Well Ross king
