At least three players are carrying niggles following the O'Byrne Cup.

Billy Sheehan has quickly turned his attention to Louth and the Allianz Football League campaign in the wake of their defeat against Dublin. 

Micky Harte's men have suffered three defeats in the pre-season to date, going down by 15-points to Dublin, a narrow loss in Kilcormac against Offaly and defeat against Longford on the opening weekend. 

All form points to a Laois win in Ardee next week but the Wee County are always difficult to beat on home soil and Billy Sheehan will be hoping to call on his full compliment of players in six days time. 

Every team in the country is struggling with knocks given the volume of games in recent weeks and here's how the O'Moore County's treatment room is shaping up, according to the boss:

I'm sure Louth after watching that will be waiting for us to come and full focus is now on Ardee next Sunday at 2 o'clock.

Paul Kingston went for a scan. We will get the results of that scan in the next few days, so hopefully he's not out for too long but we don't know yet the full extent of his injury. 

Gareth Dillon and Paddy Sullivan we're hopeful will both be available for next Sunday. 

Gareth pulled up in the warm-up. It's possibly fatigue after Wednesday night. Paddy hurt himself early on in the game against Kildare and kept going through it. 

We will have to look after him because he has plenty of miles on the clock with Portarlington so he'll take a bit of minding.
