Aaron Dunphy won't be starting.  Nowhere near the fit enough.  Will be great to introduce with 15/20 left .

Quote from: Laois Rising on May 20, 2025, 01:30:46 PMThat was 1999. Year before, had the winning of the game against Kilkenny but froze with finish line in slight and Ken O'Shea scored 1-1 to win it at the death. The team was in decline though by 99. Despite that a huge Laois support travelled to the game with optimism. I remember a sideline ball by Andy Comerford being dropped into the net by Ricky Cashin in the first few minutes of the game and that completely took the wind out of the Laois sails. It was one way traffic after that despite Niall Rigney being head and shoulders the best player on the field. It was unfortunate that a very decent Laois hurling side in the 90s never won a championship game in that decade. They had some notable league wins in that time but just didn't have the rub of the green in championship.

Yes I recall them losing to Kilkenny in 95, again Rigney and Declan Conroy were outstanding for Laois but could just not get it over the line.



Ah 1995 for me was the one . Blistering hot day in Carlow . Dermondy making an outstanding save from Fint Lalor in the dying seconds  when we were 2 down and whistle about to be blown . Some performance that day . Remember being behind the goal and thinking it was in . Heartbreaking

That was deflating today . Everything about that was grim. That is  a full strength Senior Hurling panel . A bad day for Laois hurling .

Well done to the Seniors tonight.  Nice to see us finishing the job after struggling somewhat in the latter parts of the league. 
Nothing to fear against Louth .

Best wishes to Darren and please God a speedy recovery.

A very good appointment getting Tommy Fitzgerald on board and hearing that Niall  Corcoran is going in as  head coach which is a great addition.
