The future of laois hurling

Stop please

Maybe take some of your own advice

 Bit of hope for the u20s. Look to be missing a few key players though that they will need. Fionan Mahony, Mossy Keyes, Ciaran Burke and Cathal Murphy are important players all of which started in last years championship. They are physical players too, we look a bit lightweight without them and we will need that against the bigger challenges to come. Keyes was an unused sub so hopefully he is working his way back in. None of the other 3 were on the 26. Anyone know of their progress?

Burke is out again

He's had an awful run of injuries in fairness to him

Fionán Mahony broke his foot in training the week before the Antrim match so he is out. Mossy Keyes dislocated his shoulder a few weeks ago but is on the way back, don't know if he will be available for Kildare match, hopefully if they get over that he will be available for quarter final. Pretty sure Ciaran Burke opted out a while ago to concentrate on football. Cathal Murphy not sure but I think he had a hamstring problem, he has been out a few weeks now,  and as he wasn't in the match day squad for Antrim it's probably unlikely he is available for this Saturday.

Kildare in Newbridge will be a tough match, they beat Wexford there last year if I remember correctly.

It's a pity the above injuries have undermined this team a bit. You are 100% correct above on the physicality especially as all 4 lads would operate in the middle third.

Diarmuid Dooley would also have been a great boost to this team.

Cathal Murphy and mossy keyes should be good to go Saturday. Burke was never part of plans when he opted for laois senior footballers. But unfortunately injured he ankle recently and out for another few weeks. Fionan mahoney will be big loss.
2 big games Saturday. Hopefully we can come out the right side of both

It would be a big boost if Mossy and Cathal Murphy are available. Three of the lads in the forwards struggled on Saturday against Antrim. 

[Laois Rising]

After the strong showing by our u21s last year and with a number of those lads involved again this year you'd be optimistic that this team will be highly competitive against any side in Leinster (perhaps with the exception of a very strong Galway side).  Missing the likes of Burke, Mahony and possibly Keyes as well is a big blow to perhaps taking a scalp in this year's championship. However, some very decent players filtering through with potential to add to the Laois senior squad in the next couple of years.

[Zooming around]

We have three consecutive very good groups coming through, highly unusual for us. How they are handled over the next 5-6 years will be key.

[Laois man]

Hope your right about the 3 groups coming through. I seeing our U20s last week and they were just OK and will have it all to do to beat kildare tomorrow.

[burdizzo]

Yeah, exactly - which are the three "very good" groups?! Are you including last year's u20s, and this year's? Who else?

[Zooming around]

In my opinion the 2002, 2003 and 2004 groups are very good
