SFC Qualifiers Fixture: Laois v Clare on Sat at 3pm in Portlaoise.
SHC Qualifiers: Laois v Dublin at 7pm on Sat in Parnell Park.

Very little consideration given to us here, will have to fly up to the Hurling, no doubt there be a checkpoint on the bridge or speed cameras the whole way up !! 

Am I missing something here,  Clare hurlers are not playing till Sunday 9/7/17   WTF 

The Clare Minors are playing Kerry in the Munster Minor Football Championship Final on Sunday which is why Clare said they wouldn't play on Sunday. Not much of a reason as that game is on at 12.00 noon

I'm a football man so I'll be heading to O'Moore Park but I'll be glued to the radio cheering on the hurlers later on.

Graiguecullen beaten in their final also. Well done to all teams.

Oh lord, I forgot. I'm in for a rough time now ...

Well done to all the Laois teams so far, lets bring home the medals now ...

[Portlaoise: 0-17Graiguecullen: 1-11]

Nice little win this evening ,in fairness I was surprised by graigcullen they stayed in the game all the way threw and look fit and organised,, but portlaoise are gonna win the league as I predicted

This was the result, great report as usual town1980

Portlaoise: 0-17
Graiguecullen: 1-11

From Laoistoday.ie
Portlaoise 0-17 to 1-11 win over Graiguecullen puts Portlaoise into second place in ACFL Division 1A. St Joseph's are already guaranteed a place in the final and Portlaoise will join them if they beat an already-relegated Ballyroan-Abbey side in their final game next week. The result also ended Graigue's slim hopes of making the final.
O'Dempsey's are also in the hunt for a final place but they need to beat Arles-Killeen in their final game and hope that Portlaoise slip up.

other forums that you and the like of you have managed to ruin down through the years...

He talks a lot of shite, but i'd like to take you up on that point. If it's LaoisTalk you are referring to, the only reason that finished was that it wasn't making money! Nothing to do with trolls etc

No, I understand what happened to Laoistalk, that was a very well run forum and sadly missed. 

I've been on a few other forums where clowns like him do nothing but run down guys who have nothing but respect for their counties and have to put up with insults when they express their opinions. All that serves to do is to make genuine posters leave and not waste their time reading trash like that.

Tony is a genuine guy and I don't know how he puts up with some of the stuff that's thrown at him. Whether you agree or disagree with his opinions is up to each individual but he has an opinion and sticks to it and you have to respect that. I think he speaks a lot of sense and Creedon will come good given time. He has had a horrible start but if the lads believe in him that's good enough for me.

When did they need to beat a "shite graigue side", and what right do you have to call any club side "shite" when they all train as hard as ye but don't have half the pick of players ye have. Portlaoise are a class club but clowns like you destroy their name and promote hatred among the other clubs...

Cop on and get off this forum, go back to Hogan Stand or other forums that you and the like of you have managed to ruin down through the years...

Wouldn't agree with you regarding O'Loughlin and Begley, they started well but faded badly very quickly. O'Loughlin took a solid hit early on and it seemed to knock him off his stride for a while. He did play well but not a patch on what he can do.
Begley disappeared for long periods during that game and some of his passes were very disappointing for such a talented player. If we can get the best from these lads next day we can win this one.
