It is another busy weekend and the Pick and Mix Podcast is here to go through all of the action. The biggest game takes place on Saturday afternoon as the Laois footballers face Down in O'Moore Park at 4pm.  This is the quarter final of the Tailteann Cup and Alan plus Steven go through who they think is in contention to start.  The Laois camogie team are in action on the same day away to Westmeath while the Ladies are away to Wexford on Sunday.  While we also have a comprehensive club league update.

Joe McDonagh Final | Ladies and Camogie in O’Moore Park | Club hurling leagues

APOLOGIES for uploading the wrong file - this is the correct one now! It is a massive weekend for GAA and the Pick and Mix Podcast is here to look ahead to it. With Steven Miller still on his holidays, Alan Hartnett is joined by Barry McEvoy. The pair begin with the biggest match of the weekend – the Joe McDonagh Cup final. Laois and Carlow are set to do battle in Croke Park on Saturday and the lads discuss the likely starting 15 plus how they expect the game to pan out. The Laois camogie team and the Ladies footballers are both in All-Ireland action in O’Moore Park this weekend. While it is a big couple of days in the ACHL Division 1.

London on the double | Croke Park calling | Camogie Rising

Two trips to London, two Laois wins. No more than anybody expected but jobs well done by the Laois footballers and hurlers. The Laois hurlers now have a Joe McDonagh Cup final to look forward to for the third year running - they'll face Carlow in Croke Park on Saturday, June 6. The Laois footballers are now two from two in the Joe McDonagh Cup and have a home quarter-final (or a home preliminary quarter-final against New York) to plan for. The Laois camogie team are up and running in the All Ireland intermediate championship. Can we start planning multiple trips to Croke Park? Steven and Alan look back on all the weekend action as Alan joins us from Dublin Airport as he sets off gallivanting again.

Steven's right of reply | Two trips to London | Camogie and minor football | Another rant

The Pick and Mix Podcast is back and we have an extremely busy weekend of action to preview.  But first and foremost - Steven Miller, after being banned from the Laois Hurling Podcast, gives his right of reply to manager Tommy Fitzgerald after the Laois boss was unhappy with comments made on this Podcast in relation to Down.  After that, the lads look ahead to the hurlers against London where a result will guarantee a Joe McDonagh Cup final place. The camogie team begin their All-Ireland campaign at home to Carlow on Sunday while the minor footballers are in an All-Ireland Tier 3 semi final on Saturday against Antrim. Alan is making the trip to Ruislip on Saturday where the Laois footballers will take on London and he looks ahead to that Tailteann Cup game.  We conclude with a Steven Miller rant on the proposal to change age grades in Laois for 2027.

Joe McDonagh 'semi-final' | Alan's Emo challenge | transfer dealings

The Joe McDonagh Cup clash between Laois and Down in O'Moore Park this Saturday is the big game of the weekend and is essentially a semi-final in the competition.  Laois have comfortably gotten the better of Down in each of the past three seasons - with an average winning margin of 32 points. Surely to God, they can't lose now? Also up for discussion are the club leagues, club transfers, the minor footballers progress in Tier 3 of the All Ireland championship and Alan takes on Emo in this week's 30-second challenge.
