The Laois hurlers now have a Joe McDonagh Cup final to look forward to for the third year running - they'll face Carlow in Croke Park on Saturday, June 6.

The Laois footballers are now two from two in the Joe McDonagh Cup and have a home quarter-final (or a home preliminary quarter-final against New York) to plan for.

The Laois camogie team are up and running in the All Ireland intermediate championship. Can we start planning multiple trips to Croke Park?

Steven and Alan look back on all the weekend action as Alan joins us from Dublin Airport as he sets off gallivanting again. 

But first and foremost - Steven Miller, after being banned from the Laois Hurling Podcast, gives his right of reply to manager Tommy Fitzgerald after the Laois boss was unhappy with comments made on this Podcast in relation to Down. 

After that, the lads look ahead to the hurlers against London where a result will guarantee a Joe McDonagh Cup final place.

The camogie team begin their All-Ireland campaign at home to Carlow on Sunday while the minor footballers are in an All-Ireland Tier 3 semi final on Saturday against Antrim.

Alan is making the trip to Ruislip on Saturday where the Laois footballers will take on London and he looks ahead to that Tailteann Cup game. 

We conclude with a Steven Miller rant on the proposal to change age grades in Laois for 2027.

The Laois hurlers resume their Joe McDonagh Cup campaign away to Westmeath on Saturday in Mullingar. 

While the Laois camogie team will contest a Leinster Intermediate final on Sunday at the same venue against the same opponents. 

The Laois footballers are out on Sunday as they begin their Tailteann Cup journey at home to Wicklow. 

The Laois minor footballers are also in action on Saturday as they face Limerick in Round 1 of the All-Ireland Tier 3. 

While there is also set to be a significant weekend of club league action in ACFL Division 1 and 2. 

Steven and Alan start by looking back at the fall out from the heavy loss for the Laois ladies on Saturday. 

Laois were beaten 5-12 to 0-4 by Westmeath and manager Stephen Duff has since departed from the role. 

The day in Mullingar did start better as the Laois U-16s claimed Leinster B glory by defeating Dublin. 

But the rest of the weekend brought more bad news with the minor and U-20 hurlers both eliminated off the back of big defeats. 

We have the second installment of our new quiz as Steven takes on naming players from Abbeyleix - with only a slightly better performance than Alan.

Up first though is some correspondence from a disgruntled member of the O'Dempsey's club who was mistakenly put down as a Portarlington player in a recent match report!

The second item on the agenda is something we don't want to see coming back again - Walkover Wusses.

After all the giving out, it is on to the action for the May Bank Holiday weekend ahead of us. 

The Laois Ladies senior and U-16 teams are in Westmeath on Saturday while the Laois minor hurlers are in O'Moore Park.

The Laois U-20 hurlers and the Laois Minor Camogie team are in action on Bank Holiday Monday. 

While the lads also discuss the upcoming O'Moore Og and Setanta football and hurling programmes. 

On the hurling front, the Laois senior hurlers defeated Antrim to get their Joe McDonagh Cup campaign back on track.

The minor hurlers lost badly to Wexford but the Laois camogie team reached a Leinster final as they hammered Wicklow. 

Switching across to football, there was provincial glory as the Laois minor Ladies saw off Westmeath to claim back to back 'B' championships. 

We also had a full round of Division 1 and 2 club leagues while the Feile finals were also in Portlaoise. 

And we have the first go at our brand new segment - which Alan makes a hames of!  

You can listen to it below or on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

Alan Hartnett and Steven Miller begin by looking ahead to another extremely busy weekend. 

The Laois hurlers begin their Joe McDonagh Cup campaign away to Carlow on Saturday with the Laois minor hurlers facing Galway earlier in the day. 

On Sunday, the Laois footballers are off to Newbridge to face Kildare in the Leinster championship while the minor ladies play the same opponents in Annanough. 

The lads also look back on disappointment for the minor footballers, a brilliant win for Portlaoise CBS and uncover where the Laois U-20 footballers are off to next. 

Since we last recorded, a host of Laois teams have been in championship action. 

The Laois minor Ladies reached the Leinster B semi finals following a draw with Longford. 

The minor footballers lost to Louth but can still reach the knock out phase if they defeat Meath next week. 

The U-20 hurlers began their Leinster championship with a heartbreaking loss to Offaly. 

While the U-20 footballers are into the semi finals of the Andrew Corden Cup after a dramatic win over Carlow on Wednesday. 

Steven Miller is joined by Alan Hartnett to look back on those games and ahead to the Leinster senior football championship meeting between Laois and Offaly on Saturday evening.

On the football front, the Laois seniors won in Down while the Ladies lost in Antrim.

On the hurling, the Laois seniors defeated London to maintain their 100% record. 

The camogie team also won but their win over Westmeath wasn't enough to secure a league final. 

Steven Miller and Alan Hartnett are here for this one where they also look ahead to the Laois minor and U-20 teams starting their Leinster campaigns.

Alan Hartnett is joined by Steven Miller where the lads look ahead to five matches involving Laois county teams. 

The hurlers are in London on Saturday while the minor hurlers and camogie team form a double header in O'Moore Park. 

The Laois Ladies minor team are also in action as they face Offaly in Annanough. 

On Sunday, the Laois footballers conclude their league campaign away to Down. 

While the Ladies face what looks like a must win tie against Antrim. 

Steven Miller is joined by Alan Hartnett where the pair begin by reviewing Round 1 of the club football leagues. 

Last weekend had seven matches in Division 1 and 2 with the lads discussing each of them. 

After the club chat, attention turns to the only Laois team that are in action this weekend - the footballers. 

Laois are away to Fermanagh in Round 6 of the National League where a win will keep them in the hunt for promotion. 

Alan outlines the scenarios required for Laois to clinch promotion and also explains the circumstances in which they could still be relegated. 

The Laois club football and hurling championship draws were made last night and have thrown up some interesting clashes. 

Steven and Alan go through all of the grades and pick out the games they are most looking forward to. 

After that, attention turns to the weekend where five Laois teams are in action. 

The Laois senior footballers and hurlers are both playing crucial National League games against Westmeath.

The camogie team are away to Meath while the Ladies seniors face Roscommon and the minors take on Westmeath. 

All four of the adult Laois GAA teams are in action with games involving the senior hurlers and camogie teams on Saturday. 

While the Laois ladies and mens teams are both in Munster to take on Clare. 

Steven Miller and Alan Hartnett chat about all of that plus the Laois hurlers who are playing for other counties. 

The Laois GAA transfers for 2026 are also out and the lads discuss the various moves. 

While Steven praises Laois GAA for their work on the Centre of Excellence, Alan wants them to install an astro.

The Laois GAA Pick and Mix Podcast is here and this one will go out occasionally free of charge. 

Often, Steven and Alan have a lot of small bits of GAA news that doesn't really get the time it deserves on the Laois Football and Hurling Podcast. 

So the Pick and Mix is a space for anything that doesn't make the cut elsewhere. It won't be as regular as the other episodes throughout the season but it will not be behind our paywall. 

We start here by looking ahead to Laois v Sligo on Valentines Day and also the start of the National Camogie League. 

Laois are in Division 2 and are away to Kerry - also on Saturday February 14. 

The lads also talk about the recent exploits of our schools teams, the start of the Kelly Cup and the Laois Ladies minor panel. 

There is also a club managerial update, a look at the hurling and football panels plus a county board appointment.
