The Laois senior hurlers received a warm reception from supporters at a special meet and greet event in Laois Hire O'Moore Park, Portlaoise, ahead of Saturday's Joe McDonagh Cup final against Carlow in Croke Park. Players and management took time to meet fans, sign autographs and pose for photographs as excitement continues to build ahead of the county's biggest hurling day of the year.
Laois are competing in the Joe McDonagh Cup final for the third year in a row after losing out to Offaly in 2024 and Kildare in 2025. Keep an eye on the Leinster Express/ Laois Live throughout the week for interviews with Laois manager Tommy Fitzgerald, Laois captain David Dooley and Camross’ Mark Dowling.
