[The PRO]

There's some very good chaps to add to next year's team. O'Neill from The Rock is top class. Horgan of Annanough is one to keep an eye on too. Saunders of course would be a massive addition if available.

I wonder will many travel over to Tullamore on Friday for this. 3 weekends on the trot with the senior hurlers mightn't help. In saying that it's not that far of a journey for supporters over round Port, emo etc.

Laois should be well able to outnumber their Dublin counterparts.

[Giovanni]

I certainly hope so!

When you're playing Dublin the result will always be uncertain but this is a really genuine bunch of players that deserve a decent support. I would really encourage everyone interested in Laois football to take a look. They have a genuine chance. Three weeks in a row might be hard for the players but the supporters should be able to manage it!

I see TG4 are showing the game live, hopefully will be able to see on their site over here in the UK. From reading game reports so far, this sounds like a decent team with some good natural defenders, something our senior team have lacked recently. Best of luck to them against the Dubs.

[The PRO]

Team named. Unchanged.

[Countyminor]

Laois 7/2 outsiders to win on PP  Really looking forward to Sunday, this team can rubbish those odds. The fact that we can leave the likes of Jack Owens and Niall Dunne on the bench speaks for itself, this is a very strong side. Can't wait for Friday!

[redsetanta]

Will put a few bob on that and the handicap of evens +4.

Laois hurlers have been good to me this year hopefully the U20's can do the same.

[The PRO]

Just think that if Meath had beaten Laois, they wouldn't be as big a price as 7/2.
