Laois Set For Crucial Joe McDonagh Clash With Down

Thursday, 14 May 2026 13:37

The winners on Saturday will be in a positive position heading into the final round.

Laois Hurler Aidan Corby is well aware of the challenge his side faces in the Joe McDonagh Cup this weekend.

Tommy Fitzgerald's side welcome Down to O'Moore Park this Saturday, with this game essentially seen as a semi-final.

Both sides have recorded two wins and a defeat in the championship so far.

A win for Laois could be enough to book their place in a third decider on the bounce.

Corby says they can't take any game for granted going forward:

Throw in is at 5:00pm from O'Moore Park this Sunday.

You can listen to the full interview on Ahead Of The Game tomorrow night from 7:00pm on Midlands 103.

Meanwhile, Kevin O'Brien's Westmeath are aiming to bounce back from back to back defeats as they travel to Antrim this Saturday.

The Lake County were beaten at home to Laois last weekend, while their opponents got their opening win of the campaign at away to London.

Throw in is at 5:00pm from Corrigan Park this Saturday.
