Trumera will have their work cut out for them against Maynooth. They are really a kildare senior team,  back to back intermediate for them over Naas. The promotion to senior is stupid in kildare,  they got caught in promotion game a few days after celebrating 2020 win. Tadgh Forde, cathal mccabe  and David Qualter are the main men to be minding.

That game was postponed for some reason.
COVID cases in Maynooth team seemingly.

Watching CB match on RTÉ player here. All to play for in 2nd half and have the wind.

Great win for CB tonight. Aside from the old reliables, one lad that really impressed was Killian Dunne when he came on. Rapparees sort of fell to pieces in the last quarter, though.

Great win. First win over over a higher ranked county since??
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled.......

Put the information below together for no particular reason. It has been a competition that has been very good to Laois teams and particularly to Laois hurling supporters. If not in terms of trophies, then in terms of something to follow and a consistent ability to compete with the best in the province.
The information is from Wikipedia, but from memory it's accurate in terms of results and opposition anyways.
Unfortunately, I remember almost all of them!

Probably Castletown...?!

I had forgotten about Rathowney Errill beating St Rynagh's. Offaly club hurling would still be considered stronger than Laois by many.

burdizzo

Well... Offaly hurling was at its lowest ebb at that time, and Offaly certainly would have been ranked below Laois. I think the ease with which R/E won that game was a fair reflection of that fact.

Robbo

Good win for Ballacolla but hard to see how that Raparrees team won wexford. Don't think Ballacolla played as well as they did in the semi-final or final and still had a comfortable enough win. Their backs were excellent. Thought cleere, D maher and Conway were their best players.

Big step up the next day. You'd have to think killmacud will be really focusing on beating Ballyhale in the final.
Maybe they'll take ballacola for granted.

At InterCounty level, yes.
But that was the first win in 20 years. And Rynaghs would have been favourites to win.
Ballacolla were evens last night.

Excellent Post

Laois teams were very competitive in the 70's/80's/90's

3 wins in the last 10 years in the Leinster championship is poor return in comparison to what had gone before

Excellent Post

Laois teams were very competitive in the 70's/80's/90's

3 wins in the last 10 years in the Leinster championship is poor return in comparison to what had gone before

Very poor, I know when you look back at the year winning the county is always the main objective but I'd say there is some regrets in the RE and CB camps over some of the games. The 2012 RE loss to Kilcormac and 2015 CB loss to Oulart stand out. Both seasons the KK champs had been turned over on the other side of the draw and both games both CB and RE should have won. I remember the CB game in particular and I've never seen a team with such potent forwards miss as many chances, think there was 2 missed penalties thrown in for good measure too and Oulart then went on to win out Leinster. The RE loss against Kilcormac was another one, they were such a better team on the day and couldn't get it done...

Hopefully CB can make amends for the Laois clubs over the past 10 years or so this year but it will be very hard done. This Kilmacud crowd is a good if not better in some areas as the Cuala teams from a few years back and it's very hard to see CB beaten them. Hopefully they can play to their full ability on the day and if they do that then you never know!

Ballacolla at 3/1 to beat Crokes with a +4 handicap. Definately worth a flutter.

Have CB any injury concerns or do the have a full squad to pick from.

Just for clarity, 3/1 for the win and evens with the handicap.

I just can't see it, unfortunately.
I don't think Clough Ballacolla will be within 6 points. Hopefully I'm wrong.
