Harps v Abbeyleix - draw!
Rosenallis v RE - RE by 6 or 7
Ballinakill v BK - BK by 5
CB v Castletown - CB by 4
Portlaoise v Camross - going for a shock here. Town by 1.

Louth will get one.
Maybe Ryan Birns or Mulroy?

Fierce disappointing.
So many mistakes. Terrible decision making. First half wides were a killer.
I think the years and years of poor underage teams (as in football) are really starting to hurt us now.

That was a hard watch yesterday. Wasn't helped by today's result in the Joe Mc final.
We really need all the best players in the county on our senior squad otherwise we we will always be struggling.
Steep learning curve for some of the lads playing their first year of senior inter-county but hopefully we'll get a few bodies back next year.
Fingleton, O'Carroll, Fitzpatrick and Greene all injured was very unlucky.
A couple of lads who were abroad might be back.
Thought Coffey had a good first year. Would love to see a few more of his clubmates involved.

Think we deserved that little bit of luck.
Think they got a last minute penalty to beat us the last time in Dr Cullen.
We'll have to improve a lot to win the final but isn't it great to be in it?!😀

When you're six points down with two minutes plus injury time to go, playing with whatever breeze there is, I wouldn't have thought taking a short puck out to a corner back was the right call.
Best team won anyway - if we had stole a result it would only be papering over the cracks.
But I still think we can bounce back and win the Joe Mc.

Two brilliant results at the weekend! The minors in particular look an excellent team. Looks a tough draw for the u20s but home advantage is a boost. Hope a big crowd turn up to support both teams.

End of a pretty terrible under 20 football campaign tonight.
That group did OK at under 17 but seemed t OK be a huge loss of players in the three years.

2003 will live with me forever. RIP Micko. 

Really hope I'm wrong but that is a team very light on experience and scoring power.
Leitrim are probably in the same boat but I fear for us against the stronger Division 3 teams and would consider staying up an achievement.

Lovely. Enjoyable game.

Dire stuff altogether, two poor enough outfits. Either EC or Kilcoo would relish playing either of them.

Yeah, doubt if Crokes should bother turning up at all for the semi-final.

I know it's only the league phases of the school hurling year but I see Heywood and Portlaoise CBS getting hammered by Banagher (B) and Carnew (C) respectively in the junior grade.
2 out of the 4 primary hurling schools in the county.  Maybe I'm being a tad dramatic in the assessment but that's a worrying sign in my opinion.

You're not being one bit dramatic. This is essentially the county minor grade.

Would it not be more last year's minors? I know a lot of lads did the Leaving last June that were playing adult hurling (and football).
The results are very worrying though.

Congrats to Kilcavan tonight.
Caught most of the final on Clubber.
Well deserved. The wing back Lawlor was exceptional. Full forward good too.
Think they'll be comfortable enough in intermediate next year.

Didn't see Ballylinan game but Ballyfin are in big bother based on yesterday.
No James Finn and they were beaten after 15 minutes.
Must be strong favourites for the drop.
