Laois Senior Football Championship 2019

[Laoiseabu]

No reason why Killeshin can't be there or there abouts . Young organised team with plenty of firepower up front . The three boys Back from America have improved them further. If they can get over Ballyfin you never know what could happen in a final especially if they play out of their skins for the full hour.

As for Portlaoise . They will be hard beaten when it comes to it but they seem to have regressed considerably opening the door for a new winner this year. I notice more and more of the intermediate team is creeping into the first team as every year goes by . If port can beat Graiguecullen it would set up a match against Portlaoise that we all want to see.

While we are in for an exciting end to the championship unfortunately I don't see any team from Laois making a mark in Leinster club this year .

Who is managing Ballyfin?

Killian Fitzpatrick, It's great to see Ballyfin and Killeshin in the Semi Final two very well drilled outfits.

One of their own. Good to see.

Replay of Graiguecullen and Portarlington fixed for Thursday 19/09/2019 at McCann Park at 8.00PM.
A bit unfair on Graiguecullen having to play in Ports home ground, surely they could have played it in O'Moore Park on Thursday....

[Laoiseabu]

Must be a mistake . If that's true it's an absolutely ridiculous decision. It's quite baffling the more you think about it . Should be fixed for either o Moore park or Stradbally .

[Silkyskillssunshinee]

Ah it has to be a mistake. No reason why it wouldn't be in OMP.

[Uisce]

No surprise but it was a mistake, fixture now says it is in O'Moore park.

I fancy Port to  make the semis...confidence is high to say the least and they fancy a cut at Portlaoise big time..

I like Graigue and would like to see a guy like Mark Timmons win a county but this is Ports time i think .

Port by at least 5 points.

[Don Draper]

Port win the psychological battle, Graigue lads here shit themselves at the thought of going to McCann Park

[Neutralobserver]

there wont be alot in it again but i also think port by a few

Really ? Graigue have more than a right to question the venue. I believe Port will win but the venue wont decide it.

Love to see the replay in Stradbally or somewhere like it but understand why it can't be .
Can see Graigue pulling this off Thursday .

Graigue v port  o Moore park 8 pm
Winners it's so hard call I went for port and they nearly snatched it but it would have been hard on graigue who I felt were 6 points better side the scores they missed were criminal mostly frees,, there is plenty of improvement for both sides but I'll stick with port younger legs with a quick turnaround could do it

It's great to see new teams coming through, but it's sad to see the decline in standards. Yes Portlaoise have come back to the field a little, but nobody is putting up a solid effort to meet them. The new man might be going into Division 2 with a weaker panel than Sugrue had in 3. Only in Laois. It remains the case that coaching in this county is not good enough to improve teams, and the emergence of Ballyfin and Killeshin is proof of that. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't see the players on either of those teams who will make a difference to Laois. I say that with all the respect due to both sides, who I admire greatly. At least they have shown a willingness to knuckle down and get to where they have. A lot of teams in Laois have lost the desire and change is needed. It's a shame they can't see that.
