Laois SHC Final Preview: Jack Nolan Looks Forward To A Potential Classic

Friday, 4 October 2024 13:17

Rathdowney Errill face Clough Ballacolla in Portlaoise on Sunday.

This year's Laois Senior Hurling Championship final is a contest between the two best sides in the county, according to Midlands 103 commentator, Jack Nolan.

Clough Ballacolla take on Rathdowney Errill in O'Moore Park on Sunday to dispute the biggest prize in Laois hurling.

Both clubs progressed straight to the championship semi-finals after strong performances through the group phase of the competition.

Rathdowney Errill beat last year's beaten finalists Abbeyleix by two points, while Clough Ballacolla avenged their loss to Camross at the same stage last year to return to the county final.

It's half a decade since Rathdowney Errill last won the county title.

Nolan says they'll be driven by those disappointments:

He looks forward to this year's county final with Midlands 103's David Hollywood:

Throw-in at O'Moore Park is set for 4pm on Sunday.
