Clerical error blamed in Leinster Hurling mix-up

The Leinster GAA Council has refused to comment on a clerical error that sees Laois out of the All-Ireland Hurling Championship. Laois were scheduled to play Limerick on July 1st and were, reportedly, all revved up for the game

Limerick's new opponents are Laos, a country bordering Vietnam and Thailand in South-East Asia. A Spokesman for the Laos GAA said they were delighted to be allowed the opportunity to play in the All-Ireland series after years of lobbying.

Limerick must now travel to Vientiane, the capital of Laos, for the game.

Limerick Captain Ollie Moran said: "They're a bit of an unknown quantity, but their full-back used to play for Antrim, so I'm looking forward to a good tussle there."
