James Brennan makes Laois minor panel.
Well done to James Brennan who made the Laois minor panel for last weekends game against Wicklow in the leinster quarter final. Laois won by a single point on a scoreline of 0-15 to 1-11, Paul Kingston scored 0-5 for Laois. Laois now face Offaly in the semi final.
Barrowhouse back to winning ways.
After successive defeats in the league to Spink/Ballinakill and Killeshin, Barrowhouse returned to winning ways with a hard fought one point victory over The Rock. Indeed The Rock had only lost one of their opening six games and are riding high in the league. In what was an entertaining free flowing game Barrowhouse showed great character when they came under pressure in the second half. Some great scores were kicked from both teams but it was the ability of the Barrowhouse forwards to reply to any Rock score which sealed the victory. This was particularly evident in the second half when Martin Murphy kicked an inspirational free from almost the sideline after The Rock had scored the only goal of the game. In a game which seemed to be dominated by both sets of forwards, 7 Barrowhouse players scored on the night, it was probably Emmet Malone who was the star performer on the pitch with some fine catching and a couple of excellent points both from play and from frees.
Overall it was a most satisfactory performance which keeps Barrowhouse in touch with the leaders in div. 3 although there are some very difficult games coming up.
Final score: Barrowhouse 0-15 The Rock 1-11.
Team; Karl Fitzgerald, Tommy McDonald, Shay Phelan, Tommy Page, Sean Langton, Luke Malone, Paul Kenny(capt), Emmet Malone, Conor Barry, Eoin Curran, Mikey Langton, Joe Murphy, Marty Murphy, Ian Whelan, Darren O'Neill.

Stone picking
Many thanks to all the stone pickers who helped to remove stones from the new juvenile pitch over the last two Sundays in March. Over 30 volunteers chipped in. The grounds are now starting to take shape with the pitches starting to green up and all the perimeter hedging recently planted by Baldwin Landscaping.
2010 league off to a winning start
Barrowhouse got off to a winning start last weekend when defeating Graiguecullen in round 1 of Div. 3. Barrowhouse led from the start and a goal mid way through the half from Sparks was to prove the vital score. Facing into a stiff wind in the second half the lead was cut from 5 to 2 by the midway point of the half but points from Emmet Malone and Conor Barry secured a four point win 1-11 to 0-10.

Laois Stars talk about nutrition
Laois stars Ross Munnelly and Tracy Lalor recently addressed a juvenile meeting on the issue of healthy eating. The meeting which was organised by Ger Daly and Laois coach Donie Brennan aimed to inform players of all ages of the proper type of diet that you should have in order to perform at your best. The meeting which was attended by young and old gave a great insight into how top athletes prepare themselves for their sport. Well done to all for organising such an informative meeting.
