"Guide to this weekend’s GAA action"
from the Independent.ie

​NHL Division 1B

Antrim v Laois
Corrigan Park
Broadcast on BBC iPlayer and GAAG0

"Laois won narrowly last year but Antrim have been more competitive in their three games to date against Kilkenny, Dublin and Waterford and are improving again.

Verdict: Antrim"

_______

I can't agree with this verdict but this match should be a cracker.

I might get up early (5:00 am 😬) to watch this one.

Laois abú!
