The league football competitions are well and truly underway in Laois with most approaching the half-way stage of the group sections.
Here we publish how the clubs have graded their players, a system in Laois that dictates what level players can (or can’t) play at.
For the past couple of years, clubs only need to list 15 players before the league. Previously it was 17.
These 15 can only play with the club’s first team. Anyone not on it can play with their second team.
In instances where clubs have a third or fourth team, they have to issue a second list of 15 and so on.
Clubs must add two more names to the list to bring it up to 17 before the championship starts while a lower-grade player only loses his status if he plays in the championship.
In many cases players will play in multiple leagues if the grading allows and they are picked on the higher team also.
Below we list all the club lists at Senior, Intermediate and Junior ‘A’. Only where a club has a third team, is the list of their second team published. Portlaoise are the only club to have four football teams at adult level.
