O'BYRNE CUP SF FIRST ROUND
LAOIS v WICKLOW
(Portlaoise, Tomorrow 2.0)
MICK O'DWYER returns to O'Moore Park as opposing manager for the first time since departing the Laois hotseat.
The prodigal Colm Parkinson and Gary Kavanagh are back out of retirement -- and promptly recalled to the Laois attack tomorrow.
So then, plenty of sub-plots here -- and that's before we even mention Parkinson's much-publicised claim last year that his multi-decorated ex-manager was an "absolute bluffer". Can't wait for the handshake!
ODDS: Laois 2/7, Draw 8/1, Wicklow 3/1
VERDICT: Laois
