Laois manager Eddie Brennan is certainly not getting carried away by the good start to their Joe McDonagh Cup campaign.

Two wins from two games have the O’Moore County sitting on top of the table and let’s be honest with one foot in the final.

However, they have two games remaining against Kerry and Westmeath with Brennan taking nothing for granted as they head into a three-week break.

“Three weeks now to kind of get us rebooted and get ready to go. The mad thing is we’re in a great position now, but we’re not in a final,” Brennan stressed to the Leinster Express.

“And that’s one thing we have to really clear the heads and get focused again because we’re fortunate that we have a nice two weeks of prep to get ready for the Kerry match.

“You’re going to somewhere where we took a nice trimming last year and that’s going to be a big challenge in itself. I expect a massive performance out of Kerry so we’re going to have to roll up the sleeves and get stuck in.

“It’s leaning towards ourselves and Westmeath, but you can’t look at it that way. We can not look at that now, we have to give Kerry their due respect. We have to make sure we take care of our own business, and we have to go and we have to beat Kerry, it’s that simple.”
