Laois secured the local bragging rights over neighbours Carlow at Croke Park yesterday but their win came at a cost as captain Stephen Attride sustained a serious head injury…

Underperformed today as a team!! Good luck to @CLGLaois
Wishing Stevie Attride a speedy recovery!! Class from Evan O Carroll also!! Fair play

- Seán Gannon (@CannonGannon9) June 10, 2018

Devastating news for @StephenAttride ... measure of the man what he did in the dying seconds of the game. Warrior.

We'll always have our knockers but proud of all the lads! We'll go again. Hats off to Laois. Always a great battle

First half of Laois v Carlow hasn't been pretty but ugliest thing so far is Stephen Poacher constantly waving the imaginary card at the ref / linesman for nearly every Laois foul #GAA

Never nice to see an injury like that yesterday. Speedy recovery @StephenAttride

- Daniel St Ledger (@DanStL89) June 11, 2018

Any chance RTE could put on another hurling game, this Leinster football championship is like watching yesterday's lotto numbers it's that predictable #GAA

Expecting Maurice Deegan to referee a game properly is like asking a man with diarrhoea not to shite

- Joe Brolly (@JoeBrolly1993) August 28, 2013

I genuinely think that was a harsh red card. Biased opinion I know but an honest opinion #SundayGame

Just watch the @TyroneGAALive game again. Take nothing away from that performance. It's all about getting over the line in them tough championship battles. Down to 14 men for ten mins, and in that heat. They showed great togetherness and never say die attitude. Well done lads.

Big hugs from grace after a tough win! #CC23 https://t.co/iIwkAU3zjS

All the ingredients there now to hold their own and rattle any team. Congrats to @Offaly_GAA on a spirited victory. Intelligence, pride and a lot of guile steering the ship. Delighted to see Eoin Carroll back, been through the wars!! Proud Offaly man

No more than them boys deserve. Great win

Great win for @MayoGAA today. Some performance by @CILL14N and congratulations to him on becoming Mayo all time leading scorer. #mayogaa

- Kevin Kilbane (@kdkilbane77) June 9, 2018

Open to correction, but after this weekend there is only 9 Inter-county hurling games left this year!!! But it's been a great year to date.

A Clare "supporter" behind me at the game today said "That Tony Kelly is pathetic". Is this not the same Tony Kelly who was both young & senior Hurler of the year in 2013 and who they were probably jumping all over back then. Support through thick and thin.

- Shane McGrath (@Shaneytweet) June 10, 2018

Delighted for Shane Dowling today showing his class. 15 points, unerring from frees, played with confidence. The man has serious ability and a hurling brain that goes unnoticed by many hurlers on the ditch #hiscriticsarequiettoday

- Seánie Tobin (@Tellytobin) June 10, 2018

Peter Duggan balls of stell with last score #Tippvclare

- Aidan O Mahony (@GmailMahony) June 10, 2018

Long summer ahead. But by God we have some players to be proud of in @TipperaryGAA Gave everything, just not meant to be. We gave our lives and it just wasn't enough this year. Clare fair dues. Some team who ever wins this championship

- padraic maher (@podzo21) June 11, 2018

Tough on #Wexford after some great stuff especially in first 40...TJR the difference for #kk...as an aside both GK distribution excellent with Eoin Murphy appearing to show impressive independence of thought to manage game in last 15 ... #kkvwex #gaa #Hurling

Hello @SkySportsGAA .... Quick Question for you... Where is the bloody hurling ?????

- Anthony Masterson (@antomasterson1) June 9, 2018

Sky you are a joke

The fighting in the Armagh & Tyrone match got way out of hand last night for sure but don't be hypocritical when commenting on it. This has happened with each county at some point and not just the North based on some of the tweets I have been reading.

Nice meeting this Irish legend today #keano pic.twitter.com/ezstsF5vvp
