Laois supporters will have to pace themselves this month.
Laois GAA is set for one of its busiest ever months this May, with an incredible twelve championship games set to take place in the space of 26 days.
With April having been left free for club fixtures, it means that all six Laois county teams will begin their championship campaigns in May. That averages out at a championship game every 52 hours.
The number could even go up to thirteen games, depending on how the Laois senior footballers fare in their championship opener against Wexford. If they win that game, they will be out again two weeks later, on May 26th, against Westmeath in O'Connor Park.
The full schedule of games is as follows;
