Laois senior footballers confirm 35-player panel as 2024 season to continue on Saturday

Laois senior football manager Justin McNulty has confirmed his 35-player panel for the remainder of the 2024 season.

Laois will look to maintain their 100% start to Division 4 when they take on Carlow in O’Moore Park on Saturday evening at 6pm.

Laois have already beaten Longford and Wexford and have now confirmed the squad for the year.

County champions St Joseph’s have the highest representation with six players while defeated finalists Portlaoise are next with five.

These clubs also supply the only U-20 players who are on the panel – Portlaoise’s Conor Brown and St Joseph’s Cormac Murphy.

16 Laois clubs are represented in total with Graiguecullen and Killeshin next on the list with three each.

While Stradbally, O’Dempsey’s, Ballylinan, Courtwood, Crettyard and Ballyroan-Abbey all supply two each.

The remainder of the panel is made up of players from Park-Ratheniska, Ballylinan, Clonaslee-St Manman’s, The Heath, Arles-Killeen, Emo and Portarlington.

Of the 35 named, all bar Kieran Lillis, Ryan Brady, Padraig Kirwan and Dylan Kavanagh have featured thus far between O’Byrne Cup and league.

Lillis, Kirwan and Kavanagh have all missed out through injury but are expected to play as the year progresses with Brady more on the serious end of the scale.
