Wounded Laois ready for 'huge' Tipperary test
Laois hurler Pádraig Delaney has labelled this Saturday's All-Ireland quarter-final clash with Tipperary a "huge test" as they look to bounce back from Joe McDonagh Cup final agony. The O'Moore County fell at the hands of neighbours Kildare in Croke Park last Sunday, 12 months on from another agonising loss to Offaly in the same fixture. They would ultimately go on to lose to Wexford a week later but are buoyed by the prospect of taking a major scalp this time around. "It's a big test just a week after. It's great to have a game like that. We'll be back training tonight and hopefully we'll prepare as best we can for it," Delaney told RTÉ Sport. "It's going to be a huge test, we know that, but we'll try and prepare as best we can." Tipperary finished the Munster championship level on points with finalists Cork and Limerick, suggesting a huge task awaits the Midlanders, but Delaney is aware of where his county men need to improve ahead of Saturday's encounter in Portlaoise. "I think the game got away from us there in the second half. We got a goal after half-time, and I thought we would push on. Cathal [Dunne] made a few great saves as well, but they just tagged on the scores easier than we did. "We struggled on our own puck-outs and that's disappointing." The Harps centre-back started in every game for Laois across the McDonagh Cup campaign, scoring in each of their six games. There is no doubt that losses can leave a scar. Laois were All-Ireland quarter-finalists back in 2019, when they lost to eventual champions Tipperary. But there's no hang-up towards Kildare's history-making result. "It's a tough one to take after two years. Kildare were full value, they're a great side with some brilliant players there and we are just disappointed overall," added Delaney. The target now is on a home showdown with another neighbour, before looking to go all the way in the Joe McDonagh next year, and return to the Leinster Championship. "We want to get back to Leinster Championship and to do that, we have to win the Joe McDonagh, and we have to consistently beat these teams. So hopefully we're back again next year and we'll go again." Despite the short turnaround between the Joe McDonagh final and the preliminary quarter-final, Delaney and co are enjoying the challenge. "We're going to have to pick ourselves up. It's a tough championship, like it's week on week, but it's enjoyable. So we'll go back training tonight and we'll try and try and pick the lads up and we'll go again on Saturday."

Kildare and Laois being forced to play six days after Joe McDonagh Cup final is farcical and unfair
SAY what you want about the Joe McDonagh finalists entering the All-Ireland series — but playing six days later is a farce. Kildare Brian Dowling's men will relish tackling Dublin this Saturday in Newbridge. But surely they merit an extra week to have themselves primed for such a unique occasion against their neighbours. And it's even worse for Tommy Fitzgerald's Laois. Not only do they have to Read More On GAA That game could be an absolute trouncing which is no good to either side. Fitzgerald has But it's just another farcical element of a daft calendar that puts everyone under pressure. RTE DOC DELIGHTS The first episode of RTÉ's Gaelic football documentary Hell for Leather Most read in GAA Hurling We all have a habit of running the big ball down when hurling gets the love. But the first show of a five-part series which aired on Monday was magic. GAA fans 'loved seeing and hearing' the late Micheal O Muircheartaigh as he features in RTE documentary Hell for Leather Brian Fenton wells up when he speaks about what football means to him. And the clips of him arriving at his old school in Raheny with Sam Maguire stirs up all sorts of memories. From on-field battles to civil war off it, football's tapestry always evolves. Heroes past and present explain what the game is to them. 1 Kildare beat Laois at Croke Park by a scoreline of 2-26 to 1-19 And the programme is pinned with poignancy when late greats Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh, Seán Murphy, Mick O'Dwyer, Jimmy Gray and John O'Mahony appear on screen. It's stripped back to its humble, raw beginnings by historian Paul Rouse. Pigs' bladders were used as footballs and there were battles across fields long before Croke Park became what it is today. And the only rule was there were no rules until Michael Cusack and Maurice Davin formed the GAA in Thurles back in 1884. They vowed it would spread like a prairie fire. Little did they know how much it would.

Have you ever played hurling or camogie?
AFTER A WEEKEND spent at Croke Park where The 42FM's Sinéad O'Carroll watched her beloved Kildare hurlers win the Joe McDonagh cup, herself and Gavin Cooney discussed the GAA's failure to grow hurling across the country on this week's podcast.

So today we're asking you: Have you ever played hurling or camogie? Poll Results: Yes (275) No (207) Only in school (68) Yes No Only in school Vote
