THE LAOIS COUNTY Board have this morning announced that senior hurling manager Seamus ‘Cheddar’ Plunkett has resigned from his position.
The statement reads:
“Laois County Board regret to announce Seamas Plunkett has stepped down as Laois Senior Hurling manager citing personal reasons.
“Laois County Board would like to thank Seamas for his contribution to Laois hurling over the last number of years and look forward to working with him again in the near future.
“Ger Cunningham has been appointed as interim manager with immediate effect.”
The news is a major setback to Laois as they prepare to take on Offaly in the Leinster quarter-final on 7 June.
Cunningham – who won the 2004 All-Ireland club title as a manager with Newtownshandrum and the 2011 Fitzgibbon Cup crown with UL – has been coaching Laois and now assumes the managerial reins.
Let me guess. Scotland are the dark horses for the championship.
Deja vue x 10 years.
@Stanley Marsh: they have the players to take it to the next step. Would love to see them competing for this year’s trophy by taking it up a notch, hopefully this 6 Nts is the most competitive tournament yet..
@Stuart: the game in Murrayfield will be a step up on the aviva game v England. Tuipulotu injury blunts them à but but still a very difficult fixture.
@Stuart: hopefully Italy beats them tomorrow !
If you say the same thing for 100 years eventually it might come true right? Finn Russell has one trophy to his name. The 2014-15 pro 14 title with Glasgow.
@Putland Road: or pro12 whatever it was called back then.
@Putland Road: That’s what we thought before 2009!
Be humble, they have a good side!
Lions 10. Followed by Smith and Prendergast.
King of the talkers. They’ll beat England and lose to Italy and Wales
