How can you not see that having a first team and a third team but no second team is just wrong and completely unfair on every other club?

Ye got to the Division 4 Final with a Junior C team, competing against a couple of other Junior A teams. The honorable thing to do would have been to say "we'll be even stronger now when we add the couple of lads who are available and give the Junior A a go". If St a Joseph's can be intermediate with their second team and O'Dempseys are able to get to a final, Graigue should be able to compete at the latter end of that competition. But they'd rather be the snakes that continuously pull these stunts. 'Honourable' isn't something that is a given a moments consideration in Graigue.

And you never answered my previous question. When Graigue won the Junior C the last time again hammering everyone on their way as well, did they or did they not do the exact same thing?

Hard to stomach your propaganda Pugwash.

This Graigue team should not be in this competition. Not for the first time the club have pulled a stunt and are getting away with it.

You cannot stand over pulling out of the Junior A championship and blatantly keeping a group of players together for a grade they are far too strong for. Did this Graigue team not reach the Division 4 league final and get promoted to Division 3 for next year. Did Division 4 include Spink and Portlaoise, two Junior A teams.

This Graigue team would have been good enough to beat at least half the teams in Junior A especially if you added 3 or 4 lads who'd be eligible but not on Senior team.

The league fixtures can be tough on every club but St Joseph's, Portarlington and O'Dempseys has no problem fielding numerous teams throughout the divisions.

Graigue shouldn't have been allowed keep a third team in a competition when they pulled out their second team. Ok they mightn't have technically broken any rule but they have certainly broken the spirit of it with by putting a false team into a championship and even screwing their own players to win an aul handy junior C. They should be ashamed of themselves.

Pugwaah might be able to answer this but when ye won the junior c the last time five or six years ago didn't ye do the exact same thing and hammer everyone to win it?

That small mind mentality is a blight on Laois gaa
