The future of laois hurling

[burdizzo]

Not decided yet, I'd imagine. Eddie Downey was over the u16 development squad this year.

There has been gym sessions through schools, to be fair.

[Target Man]

Very late to not have u20 and minor management in place  if that is the case

[Robbo]

I think Halley and damien Carter are confirmed aren't they.

[Target Man]

U20 and minor respectively?
Is Qualter not involved this year so?

[Laois man]

U20 hurling Sfinals this weekend. Aleix probably the stand out team in this grade but Camross come into the Sfinal with a good win over Cbolla so should push Aleix all the way. Harps v Rdowney in the other Sfinal harps should win this with all there underage talent this last number of years but you just never know with the harps. Best of luck to all teams in the A and B Sfinals.

When is the U21 A Hurling Final fixed for?

[Spiritof1915]

What a win for the camross u20 hurlers this afternoon. Mossy keyes is the real deal. They bulied a big strong physical abbeyleix team in their own patch. Fancy rathdowney Errill to win the other semi. The Harps down a good few apparently. 
Final down for next Saturday in the centre of excellence

[Laois man]

Best team won on the day Aleix will be very disappointed 6 or 7 of these lads hurled in the senior B final this year. Should be a good final now who ever getting through the other Sfinal.

Yes, Camross best team on the day, even though penalty at the end was a bit questionable we can't really have any complaints. I wouldn't say Camross bullied Abbeyleix though, but teams concentrated on hurling and Camross players were better at the basic skills. Only 3 or 4 of Abbeyleix lads performed really. In their defence, with football on Wednesday it was a second game in 4 days on a heavy pitch for most of our lads and been between leinster intermediate and u20 football also going on they haven't really had a chance to get together. Also, the 3 group games together really stood to Camross, our lads just had the one match with Harps.

Anyway, Camross look a good bet for the final, they were probably disappointed how the minor went, so a good shot at redemption for them. Tom Cuddy is going to be some hurler. 

As to the future, Mossy is excellent and definitely one for Laois going forward. From last year's Laois U20 team, I think Fionán Mahony might make it too, along with James Duggan and Ian Shanahan. Philip Tynan, Cillian Dunne, Noah Quinlan and the lads still underage next year might be better off staying with u20s for another year.

I think its important that Willie Maher leaves the u20 panel alone to concentrate on doing well in that competition. I dont believe that any of them would be physically able for senior inter county hurling yet anyway. The u20 panel should be strong (although we said the same about this years team too who were just a fraction off and injuries really didn't help).
Id be bringing in Mossy Keyes, James Duggan, Fionan Mahony, Tadgh Cuddy, Ian Shanahan and Danny Brennan into the senior set up to see how they get on.
The u20s should have a strong panel with a few from this years team available P Tynan, P Brennan, L Obular, N Quinlan, C Dunne, C Comerford, C Murphy
Theres a couple of others that i think are under age and might be worth a look Brian Duggan, Ciaran McKelvey, Padraig Rafter
Throw in B Reilly, T Cuddy, C Flynn, B Murphy, J Quinlan, J Breen, B Deegan, J Pearson and K Byrne off the minors.
Could be missing a few here too

[Laois man]

Aaron Phelan. Ctown. Conor Fitz Park timahoe Cathal Cuddy camross and a few more out there aswell.

Who will win the U20 Hurling final tomorrow?

[Laois man]

Hard to know but Camross have to be favourites after beating Alex but if the Harps perform they can win it.

[The PRO]

Anyone at the 20s final? Good win for The Harps. Can they push on at senior next year?
