Excitement is building ahead of Saturday’s Laois Shopping Centre Intermediate hurling championship final.
Clonad and Mountrath will go head to head for a place in the 2026 Laois Premier IHC.
This is Clonad’s first appearance in the final since 2015 where they were beaten by Trumera.
Typically, before a county final, we would head down to the local school and get pictures of the children in the club gear.
However, as Clonad is one of just a few clubs in Laois that don’t actually have a school, this wasn’t possible.
So instead, ahead of the showdown, Clonad held a meet and greet day where players met with the younger players in the club.
Autographs were signed and medals were presented as the young members got a chance to meet their heroes.
Ciara Conroy and Trish O’Brien were on hand throughout the day to capture some brilliant images.
