What happens if a hurling manager doesn’t wear a peaked cap? Is it a six-month suspension and doubled if there’s a repeat offence?

Congrats to all those shortlisted for the Laois Chamber Alliance awards - and we’re delighted to be among the nominations ourselves

We had reports from over 60 club championship matches on Laois Today in the month of August. It wore us out. I’m not looking forward to when it gets busier

Great morning in Coláiste Íosagáin in Portarlington this morning for a special Up for the Match show for students and staff supporting Portarlington GAA Club & O'Dempseys GFC. Thanks for having us and May the best team win 🏆

It’s no day for a county final. They should all be played in lovely autumnal sunshine

Lot of talk about underage grades but just back from right good U-20 game between St Joseph’s and Portlaoise. All those lads would have got 10 adult league, about 5 adult champ and now at least 3 U-20 champ games. Plus schools/college and for some county. That’s not a bad setup

I’d absolutely love to see Davy trying to get up that ramp #irelandsfittestfamily

It instantly feels like a bigger, more important, game when Donal Lenihan is on co-commentary

The provincial club championships are a gift that keeps on giving. A great contest today between two finely-tuned teams. Palatine of Carlow next for Port - and one game away from return to Croke Park

Great piece by Alan Hartnett looking back on Ross Munnelly’s incredible Laois career

Feck penalties. They should have a replay on Wednesday night

Thoroughly enjoyed interviewing former Laois-Offaly TD Liam Hyland this week as he celebrated a milestone birthday. A great chat that touched on War of Independence, De Valera, Haughey, Oliver J, Albert, Bertie and Mary Lou.

It's the end of a political era - Charlie Flanagan has announced he will not contest the next General Election ... laoistoday.ie/2023/09/25/end…

Home for the next week or so! Follow the Live Blog on Laois Today for all the updates. We should start getting some talkies shortly

It has been brilliant to cover but thank God it’s over!

A week on from Laois Today debut stage performance at Electric Picnic. Thanks to our guests, presenters Mark Comerford and Alan Hartnett, the huge crowd who attended and Naoise Nunn and team in Mindfield for having us. We’ll be launching a new season of our QuizCast in the coming weeks
