SCFC · November 30, 2025, 11:59:35 PM

Mark Barry and Seamus Lacey going or gone travelling. Won't be around.
Paul Kingston back. Mohan and Galvin in from Portarlington.

We might struggle looking at that fixture list. Two tough away games to finish. If Barry is gone it really impacts on our attacking threats. Any word on when O'Carroll is back form injury.

O' Carroll is back in training anyway so should be good for the league. Looking at the fixtures we definitely need to start off with two wins from two.

I've heard Shaun Fitzpatrick and Sean Greene are back from injury. 4 or 5 Port lads will be joining now that their campaign is over. A few from Courtwood too but not O'Flynn.

O'Flynn looked like he was finally fulfilling the promise he showed as an underage player in this year's club championship. Real pity he is not in with county. Has all the attributes to be a good inter county player. Great to hear O'Carroll is back in training. Definitely need to hit the ground running at beginning of the league. Three winnable games at the beginning need to be targeted. You do not need to be chasing a victory heading to Down in the final game to ensure safety. Get our business done early and see if we can be in the shake up for a promotion spot by the end of the league.

Don't believe Greene is with the panel, he wasn't in with them when he injured his knee either I don't think if memory serves me correctly.

Could be Sean O Neill you saw. I was in there a few nights and he's definitely in but I didn't see Sean Greene

Karate kid · December 03, 2025, 10:51:07 PM

Sean O'Neill is definitely in yes, talking to a man from Emo he said it was only Padraig Kirwan and Eoin Montague in with Laois at the moment.

I think we had a challenge match against Cavan tonight, was anyone at it and if so how did lads get on?

County Man · December 09, 2025, 12:53:47 AM

Looking at the division 3 fixtures, there are a lot of 50/50 games in my opinion.

Home advantage might get us over the line v Limerick, we have a good record against Wexford in recent years, we beat Sligo in the 2025 league, gave Clare a good contest in 2025 league, Westmeath will be tough but we're at home, can do much better than that game in Mullingar, we ran Fermanagh close enough in 2025 league, Down is probably the toughest game.

I believe we can have a good campaign. 2026 marks the centenary of the national football league,in which we were crowned champions.

Anyone know who from Portlaoise is in with Laois?

Kevin Swayne and Conor Brown definitely in anyway. Ben O Connor and Darren Brennan have both also taken part in challenge matches last week but are probably likely to spend most of their time with the 20s.

Haven't actually heard on the likes of Ben Dempsey, Benny Carroll or Damon Larkin as of yet.

les Antiques · December 09, 2025, 09:31:00 PM

Damon Larkin not involved according to LaoisToday.
Healthy representation in from the 2 County Finalists. 11/12 I believe .

Doubt if Carroll will be involved. Has had a woeful time with injuries and I'd imagine club football will be as much as he can manage.
Larkin seems to have had a struggle regaining fitness since he got injured in the middle of last year.
