Can anyone dethrone Portarlington who play The Heath in SFC opening round

THE draws for this year’s Laois Shopping Centre Club Football Championships took place on Thursday evening at the Laois GAA offices in the LOETB Centre of Excellence.

Defending champions Portarlington will take on The Heath in Round 1, while last year’s runners-up Portlaoise are set to face O’Dempsey’s. Crettyard, the 2024 Intermediate champions, will mark their return to the Senior ranks with a Round 1 clash against Courtwood.
