Bear in the Square: Our hurling double in Laois this weekend
Rathdowney-Errill's James Ryan

We have two games this weekend to look forward to in the Laois Senior hurling championship.

First up on Sunday evening is the clash of Camross (8/15) and Ballinakill (13/8). Camross were most people’s favourites to win the championship after their impressive league campaign and opening round victory over Rathdowney Errill. However, Abbeyleix shocked the form book by defeating Camross  two weeks ago.

Ballinakill lost to Borris-Kilcotton but bounced back the last day against Castletown defeating the Noresiders by a point. We expect Camross to win this as long as Cha Dwyer is kept someway quiet.

The second game on Sunday is the clash of Rathdowney-Errill (8/11) and Clough Ballacolla (5/4).

Ballacolla’s shock 21-point defeat against Borris-Kilcotton was not expected and shook the championship into life. Even though they were without Picky Maher (out for the year) and Mick McEvoy (doubtful for this weekend), these absentees do not excuse their performance against Borris.

They are playing with little or no confidence and look a shadow of their former glories. We believe that Rathdowney-Errill despite the loss of Mark Kavanagh, will put Clough-Ballacolla away this weekend.

The Bear in the Square is your home for all things GAA Betting related. The idea was created by two friends who shared a combined love of GAA, raw full backs, big full forwards, Ciaran McDonald and gambling. Noticing there was an ever increasing focus and hunger for GAA coverage in the media, they established their blog gaabettingtips.blogspot.com and twitter page @bearnthesquare in February 2017. After researching the available markets for both Club & Intercounty games, selections are made which weight from 0-5points, with 5pts being the top pick. Since Bear in the Square was set up, they have successfully delivered over 36 points profit to their followers. Our aim for 2017 is to reach 100pts profit and see the glory days return to both Mayo and Offaly.
