A couple of weeks ago we brought you what we thought would be the most honest tweet about GAA administration we'd ever see. We thought Heath GAA's effort would never be beaten but now it definitely has some competition, and from within the same county no less. (And it's a return contender)
Laois' Leinster Express has been live tweeting tonight's Laois GAA Convention and it's the possibility of seeing this kind of thing that gets us up in the morning. They are the same people who brought us the original, last year. Two years in a row makes this 'a thing' and we're delighted about it. We can't wait for next year's already.

It's all over, it's been emotional, in the sense I nearly cried from the boredom. See ye all next year #overandout
