In the last couple of years the county board have tried to develop a connection between schools and their local GAA club. To a large degree this has been a success. Unfortunately one school in our hurling area won't let the kids bring hurls into school. Also the kids are not allowed on the grass and believe it or not the kids are not allowed to run. They just walk around the play ground at break times.

Whoever is our manager,hopefully all our best players commit to the county set up. I firmly believe that if all our best players were available for selection we'd be a match for most teams.

Does anyone know when it's likely the new manager will be chosen and announced?

I would love to see Kevin McStay get it but I doubt if it would be viable due to finances. Who ever takes over has a huge job on their hands. The underage set up has been a shambles since Sean Dempsey stopped looking after it.

John Evans has said that he'll be back in inter county management soon. I wonder would he be an option with maybe Joe Higgins or Chris Conway.

Does anyone know is there any outside manager being considered?

It seems to be all very quite on our next manager. Does anyone have any updates or hear any rumours?

There is one simple rule change that should be brought in as soon as possible. That is 30 seconds added for each substitute made. The amount of subs made near the end of games just to waste time is ridiculous.

Not sure that's the appointment that would inspire all our best players to commit to the county set-up. Then again I can't think of any top class managers who would want to take us on.

As a Laois man I'd rather see a Laois man get the Laois job than one of these journey men managers such as Luke Dempsey.

I keep having this nightmare that someone like Luke Dempsey gets the job!!!

Does anybody know of any other local candidates being consider?
