I wouldn't rule out portlaoise next year lads , Healy and cahillane will be back...the young lads will have another year to progress , I expect Saunders, Dowling, Larkin, mcevoy and jason Maher to be big players for next year, and a couple more to bring even more youth to this team. Make no mistake portlaoise are not going away.
This year was poor, the poorest it's been in many many years and still county champions despite this fact, it makes you wonder if they were not beaten by this year how the hell will they be beaten next year when surely they wont be as bad again...I expect some changes, a couple to step away but that's natural and good in terms of the squad.
I dont blame rigney one iota, he and the club were left in a desperate situation and made the best of it..he is a brilliant clubman who stood up to the plate when no one wanted the job and a man I admire greatly.Do I expect him there next year , absolutely not.As I said before this year will desperately hurt portlaoise and every step will be taken to make things right.
On a side note, harsh enough to have u20 senior at 2pm today...
