Podge Delaney urges Laois to bounce back from Croke Park heartbreak ahead of Tipperary clash
DESPITE suffering Croke Park heartbreak for the second year on the spin, Podge Delaney is keen for Laois to make the most of their chance to prove that they are no average Joes. Last Advertisement 2 Podge Delaney urged Laois to bounce back after their Joe McDonagh Cup heartbreak 2 Tipperary play Laois this weekend in the All-Ireland SHC preliminary quarter-finals But the 2025 campaign is not yet over for Tommy Fitzgerald's side, who face As Laois discovered in their defeat to Wexford at the same stage last year, regrouping to take on top-tier opposition so soon after failing to achieve the ultimate objective is a tall order. Experienced defender Delaney said: "It can be tricky. It's a quick turn-around, especially after losing. It can be a lot easier after a win and you have momentum behind you. "But at the end of the day, it's a Championship game and you're putting on the Laois jersey. Advertisement READ MORE ON GAA "You want to do yourself proud as well. We don't get too many years to do it so it's another Championship game where we'd like to put in a good performance." As the only Joe McDonagh team to have won a game in the Liam MacCarthy Cup since the competitions were linked, Laois remain the benchmark when it comes to mixing it with the big boys. Delaney was a member of the side who stunned Dublin in 2019, before going on to be beaten by eventual champions Tipp when an All-Ireland semi-final spot was up for grabs. While riding the crest of a wave, respectable performances were also produced by recent McDonagh winners such as Antrim, Carlow and Offaly. Advertisement Most read in GAA Hurling Comment Comment However, as evidenced by an average losing margin of 24 points, it has proven more difficult for the beaten finalists to get back on the horse. Still, Delaney said: "It's nice to get the opportunity to play the top teams as well. Back in 2019 we beat Dublin, so there's scope there to win games and have a real cut off bigger teams. GAA fans 'loved seeing and hearing' the late Micheal O Muircheartaigh as he features in RTE documentary Hell for Leather 'It's definitely a lot easier when you win the final but we'll pick ourselves back up again and go again on Saturday.' Although the teams were level at half-time, Laois were left to rue their first-half wides tally of 11 against Kildare as they sought to atone for losing last year's final to Offaly. Advertisement Things were looking good nonetheless as Paddy Purcell netted to give them a 1-11 to 0-11 just seconds after the restart. However, they were outscored by 2-15 to 0-8 thereafter as the Lilywhites sealed a ten-point triumph. Delaney reflected: "I think in the second half we kind of just fell away from the game. I don't know what it was. Even at half-time and after we got the goal, I thought we had scope to push on. But we just kind of fell away. "Kildare are obviously a savage team as well with savage, fit players, unbelievable hurlers as well. They got on top of us in the second half and we couldn't claw it back." Prior to this season, Kildare had never won a game at that level. Laois, who competed in the Leinster SHC as recently as 2022, were favourites to seal their return. Advertisement Delaney added: 'They had a bit of freedom. I suppose we gave them a bit too much freedom on the field as well. But look, they're a great team. 'What they're after doing in the last year is brilliant. I'm working up in Kildare so I can see first-hand the work that's going into hurling up there. It's brilliant to see it." Laois will have home advantage on Saturday for a meeting with a Tipperary team they encounter regularly in challenge matches. Delaney said: "We've played them nearly every year for the last few years. We know they're a savage outfit.

Derry still All-Ireland contenders says former All Star - but they must step up
Chrissy McKaigue insists that Derry remain All-Ireland contenders despite the woes of the past year - but says they must now step up. Paddy Tally's side face a season-defining All-Ireland series Group 4 tie with Dublin in Newry on Saturday knowing that a victory will guarantee them a spot in the knockout stages - but they haven't won a game in regulation time since beating Westmeath at the corresponding stage last year. Former Oak Leaf defender McKaigue, who announced his retirement last November, challenges the perception that Derry's showing in 2024 was disastrous, pointing out that they won the McKenna Cup and Allianz League while reaching the All-Ireland quarter-final and that he endured far worse seasons than that over the course of his lengthy innings with the county. He said: 'It was more so we didn't meet expectations. I'm not saying that everyone follows that narrative but it's amazing that narrative was depicted in so many areas and I felt Mickey Harte last year got a lot of scrutiny that was a wee bit over the top at times. 'I still feel that Derry are a contender for Sam Maguire. Maybe not this year in the same capacity as last year but do I feel that Derry squad will have the potential to be a contender for Sam Maguire in the next number of years? I do. 'I still think we're knocking there or thereabouts. I feel that the underage in Derry is really strong and you'll probably be yet to see a couple of the players that I'd be really excited about.' Having lost six and drawn one of their seven League games before losing to Donegal and Armagh in the Championship, Derry had a golden opportunity to get that elusive win over Galway last time out, though they just about scrambled a draw in the end. 'I think even the most ardent Galway supporter would say that they got out of jail with that one,' said McKaigue. 'Even with the nature of the new rules, the leads don't mean as much anymore but certainly for the vast majority of the game Derry played all the football, brought a huge amount of physicality and huge amount of intensity which is probably the first time they brought it this year to that level of consistency. 'But the worrying thing for Derry still is that they played seven games in the National League, Donegal in the Ulster Championship and now two games in the round robin. 'That's 10 games and they still haven't won a game yet. So they'd want to be clearing that one out fairly soon and the hard thing for Derry this year is all their games so far this year have been against Division One teams - that's probably a new thing in itself, so they've had a tough year from that point of view.' Tackling Dublin outside of Croke Park boosts Derry's chances on Saturday, says McKaigue, who feels that the Dubs will be very hard to beat if they get back to GAA headquarters. 'I just think Dublin will have a big say in this year's All-Ireland potentially. I hope they don't because that will mean that Derry will have been turned over. 'They're a different side without Con [O'Callaghan] too. He is their David Clifford, he is their leader, he does so much for them and gives them that composure and that settled feeling. 'I just think if there's one team that can cause you a lot of bother with the new rules in Croke Park, it's Dublin. A couple of their performances this year, like Derry in the League in Croke Park, they were awesome. They were very, very polished against Galway I thought also. 'For large parts of the game against Armagh, let's be honest, they were very impressive, bar the scoreboard. Sometimes we can get caught up in people's different analysis of the game. Armagh were worthy winners but Dublin still have a wee bit to work with.'

Kerry shouldn't expect a battle Royale but an injury-free win would be most welcome
