Antrim Hurling

I see Henry Sheflin has called a press conference tomorrow
Will it go anything like this

The great man has called it quits at County level. We've lost a living legend. I've been lucky enough to have met him a few times and he's always come across as a decent fella. He always has time for the fans, no matter what colour their jerseys. He especially took time for the youngsters. He'll be a big miss to all hurling fans around the world.

I read a quote earlier:

"DJ electrified the fans, Henry electrified the players"

Agreed
but really a press conference

To be fair he always was a gentleman and had plenty of time for the fans. Joe Canning was the same, he stood on the pitch for an age one day after a match to sign sticks and shirts and never moaned once about doing it. Henry was the same.

Listened to his interview with Marty Morrisey on 2FM last night and he came across really well. A down to earth family man who loved hurling.

new rules regarding the penalty taking.... one man on the line

Would anyone be in a position to confirm on which day the Antrim versus Laois game is being played? I have heard  a few conflicting dates and times.  I know its in Laois, but what day Sat 28th or Sunday 29th?  Many thanks in anticipation.

I'd make 2 changes ....but what would I know?

[Unlaoised]

Going to be a tight contested battle...Antrim well used to coming down this neck of the woods Laois/offaly so know how to prepare...They usually stay in the Heritage hotel in Portlaoise the night before...

They have also played so many times in O'Moore Park in the last few years and beaten Laois there last year also giving Wexford a right craic in the double header a few weeks later so the ground doesn't hold much advantage for Laois...

I can see this being an open game of hurling I just Hope Laois come out the right side of it!

[Thewildcat]

would be some set back for hurling in laois to be beaten this evening after the good work that was put in over the last two years under Cheddar, but i belive laois will win well today.

[Seamroga in exile]

Laois would have to be favourites right enough.

[Milltown Row2]

I've backed us +5 at evens, will be a tight game but by feck we must start the game with pace pressure and loads of heart!!! If we don't put them on the back foot we'll get bate! Strong winds out there so winning toss is crucial!

[hurlingstick]

Anyone know why Woody is not in the squad today? He is a significant loss
