Stradbally quite good Friday night but O'Dempseys look to be in trouble with only 6 or 7 of the county final team togged.

[Junior Ex Laoistalk]

A lot of teams seem to have been short players this weekend for some reason. I think O'Dempseys will be OK come championship time...

Ah yeah hopefully. A few lads will be back but unfortunately a few won't either. Having a few county players is a hindrance rather than a help.

How are Stradbally going SFSC? Great to see some of them on the Laois minor team, Laois as a county needs a strong Stradbally, Portlaoise etc. It would be great to see a big area like Mountmellick have a few representatives

They looked very well balanced. No stand out guys just all pretty honest. I suppose Eoin Buggie would have been one of the better lads on the night (at least I'm sure it was him!)

[Spiritof86]

Buggie is definitely county material . Whether it's his decision or not to be involved he would surely add some strength and depth .

Division 1

There is one round to go in Division 1, and only one of the seven fixtures carries any meaning.

St Joseph's, Ballyroan-Abbey and Portarlington are in the top four while Graiguecullen, Stradbally and Killeshin are in the bottom four.

O'Dempsey's host Portlaoise on Tuesday May 30 and the outcome of that game will determine the final placings.

A draw or win for Portlaoise will see them into the top four while an O'Dempsey's win will see them do likewise.


Remaining Fixtures

Sunday, May 28
Portarlington v Killeshin at 12.30pm
Ballyroan-Abbey v Graiguecullen at 12.30pm

Monday, May 29
Stradbally v St Joseph's at 8pm

Tuesday, May 30
O'Dempsey's v Portlaoise at 7.30pm


Division 2

With one round of fixtures to go here, only four teams are guaranteed of their fate after the split.

Ballyfin, The Heath and Courtwood are in the top four while Rosenallis will battle relegation.

Park-Ratheniska currently occupy fourth spot and a win over Courtwood in their final game will ensure they stay there.

Clonaslee-St Manman's are their biggest danger as they sit a point behind and if Park-Ratheniska slip up, a win over Emo would see Clonaslee pip them.

Emo and Ballylinan still hold an outside chance but they would both need to win, have Park lose and make up a massive score difference.

If just one of them win and Park-Ratheniska lose, then Park will still finish fourth on the head to head rule.


Remaining Fixtures

Friday, May 26
Emo v Clonaslee-St Manman's at 7.30pm

Sunday, May 28
Ballyfin v Ballylinan at 12.30pm
The Heath v Rosenallis at 12.30pm
Courtwood v Park-Ratheniska at 12.30pm

[SCFC]

Park Ratheniska grab the fourth spot in the top half of Division 2 despite losing to Courtwood. 
Ballyfin did them the favour they needed by drawing with Ballylinan.
Emo miss our despite hammering Clonaslee.
Division 1 will be sorted Tuesday night when Portlaoise and O'Dempseys decide fourth spot.
