[Colt Shanahoe v Trumera]

Colt Shanahoe v Trumera
You'd imagine that Colt Shanahoe should have too much at the second time of asking. Is Keyes around does anyone know?
Trumera keep surprising us.

Ballyfin v Portlaoise
An interesting one here. Portlaoise like to dictate things and play in a very set manner. Interesting to see if they can get into their groove next Sunday.
They are hard to stop once the scores start rolling. They look well prepared and have an intent in how they wish to go about things.
Ballyfin are quite dogged, look well set up too and will certainly get in amongst Portlaoise.
Finn, Lanham, Lyons, Darragh Connolly all bring a high level of aggression and physicality.

It will come down to whether Portlaoise can get it going moving the ball from line to line with runners and short stick passes. Or can Ballyfin disrupt this.
The weather could play a part in answering this question too.

Any word on Laois Senior Intercounty Manager yet? I heard both Billy O'L and Eddie Kinsella have been turned down, any truth in the rumour they went up north to meet a candidate? Getting a bit ridiculous now at this stage. It was to be decided last week and still nothing a week later. Does anyone have any info about it???

For last few weeks was hearing Billy OLoughlin from everyone....the delay on the announcement might indicate it's not him

In last week or so have heard James Horan and also Mick Dempsey names mentioned, no idea if any truth to either of them

Some money involved in a James Moran operation!
Micko peanuts in comparison!

Have Colt Shanahoe many fellas 15-17 other than the 2 starting? Very poor representation from them.

What's the history of bad blood between Port & Camross?

You'd imagine Mountmellick would be a natural home for the Port lads if they can't get through to adult?

That's a lot of clubs together to put out two sets of 15 x 17 year olds.
It's a huge problem.

What a day for Trumera.
There must be some pride in rigging out in a final against a combined Colt/Shanahoe side.
The three battled away in the 1990s at Junior & Intermediate.
Things swung one way & another.
They have battled on throughout.

Tomorrow - Abbeyleix have a huge amount going for them. I've been saying that for the last two months.
They have really surprised me in this year's championship. But they are here to stay.
Camross should manage the situation as they have shown they are able to unlike most others. Expect agression & hits early on.
Camross' bench won the semi final for them. It'll make a difference here too.
Camross by 6.
