Can't force amateurs to play during the week though can we. Both teams were asked to play on Monday but too many work committments. It is what it is, these things happen in amateur sport. I get it. All we can do is beat Carlow and let it work itself out with the other game. What alternative to the GAA have? Play it tomorrow?

Why can't they play during the week? Every last one of the Louth and Westmeath panel would have trained Tuesday night. It's completely shafting us if the scenario I described above comes to pass.

Don't be daft mate, it's staring at you in the face. Training in your OWN county for 90 minutes on a tuesday night is a WORLD apart from having a competitive match in ANOTHER COUNTY. All the squad would need to take most of the day off, between getting the bus there on time, preparing for the match and having the match itself and getting home. Get real. These lads might be from a different county but we'll completely run GAA players off if we start having short notice mid week games. If these lads were pros, then yes of course it'd make sense. But we have to think of these lads livlihood, too.

Firstly, less of the "mate" crap.
Secondly, using capital letters doesn't add to your argument. No need.

Highly unfair that if Down beat Louth, we beat Carlow and Westmeath beat Longford, you then have a back game where Westmeath play a Louth team with nothing to play for and a Westmeath win would edge us out of the promotion spot.

Joseph's result a bit of a surprise to me.

Forwards are our biggest problem. Mark Kavanagh and Aaron Dunphy can score but nobody else showing. We really need Cha back hurling well and a few more besides. Full forward line offered nothing on Saturday night.

The elephant in the room is that some of the best forwards in the county aren't involved for whatever reason.
Principally Zane and Roddy.

...as it's certain it'll be Laois v Limerick.

I'm thrilled Laois are in the quarter-finals but it's going to be brutal against Limerick.

It is what it is Moss. Better this than the alternative.

Yep. I totally agree.

Enough about the Biffos, it sounds like the lads of Laois put it up to the Dubs: https://www.leinsterexpress.ie/news/gaelic-games/367277/herculian-laois-effort-comes-up-short-against-dublin-in-nhl-division-1b.html

By the way, I have to say the Leinster Express (@Express_Sport) does a great match commentary via Twitter. Good stuff!

Aye Rory will be missed when he goes

Ah no, where's he going?

Who manages the abbey cbs brock cup team? Seen video highlights of a game against st pat maghera. Final score 2.1 abbey played 15 men inside their 45 for 50mibs. Damn disgrace

Jody Gormley being named on Twitter. Saw it. It looked atrocious.

Very open championship.
Any of 5 teams could win it in my opinion with maybe The Rock, Annanough and Joseph's the weaker three.

 A few interesting games there.
An early prediction for the craic….

Graigue should be too strong for Ballyfin

Fancy Port to take The Heath with the talented young players they have coming through.

Ballyroan Abbey and Emo could be a tough game with very little in it. Hard one to call.

I think Arles will be a bit too cute for the young Courtwood team.

Killeshin might surprise Stradbally.

Killeen to sneak by Cretty who’ll miss the Spink lads

Josephs and O’Dempseys could be a cracker if they both go for it. They are two of the big guns. Won’t call it this early.

Portlaoise will beat Ballylinan by something the same as two years ago’s final.

Ballyfin will be managed by Killian Fitzpatrick. Emo staying with Paul Lawlor player manager. O'D's Eddie Kelly. Portlaoise haven't a replacement in for McNulty as yet.

Plenty of lads getting a shot anyway. Some putting the hands up, some not. We might be best served spending another year in division 3 anyway. As long as we don't f**k up and head the other direction.

Club league fixtures are up on the website now.

No mention of the county fixtures or results. Latest news is from December!!!!

New website supposed to be in the pipeline. Badly needed.

Not worth a flying f**k unless they assign someone to update it.

True. Hopefully they streamline it a bit and make it more readable.
