Maggie Walsh Tournament
The third ever hurling tournament in memory of a legendary Laois hurlers will get underway on Thursday evening.
Back in 2017, the people of Ballinakill and Laois GAA were in mourning following the sudden death of a great servant – Michael ‘Maggie’ Walsh.
The 64-year-old was one of Laois and Ballinakill’s most decorated players as he won several medals at club and county level.
This year’s hurling tournament will be for U-15s this time and will involve eight hurling clubs from Laois and Kilkenny will begin tonight.
Ballinakill-Ballypickas, Mountrath, Abbeyleix and The Harps are representing Laois.
Lisdowney, St Patrick’s Ballyraggett, St Martin’s and St Lachtain’s are Kilkenny’s representatives.
Check out the fixtures and you can follow updates on the Ballinakill GAA website.
