In what is a growing trend around the country, two more clubs in Laois have decided to amalgamate.
Park-Ratheniska and Timahoe will compete in the 2018 intermediate hurling championship after the clubs agreed to join forces for the coming year.
Timahoe had been plying their trade in the junior ranks, while Park-Ratheniska competed in the IHC, but both have struggled in recent times.
The amalgamation will see a side competing that could potentially go all the way in the IHC next year, given the wealth of talent that the two sides could produce.
