The Joe McDonagh Cup competition is due to get underway this weekend and Laois boss Eddie Brennan makes no secret of what his number one target is.

The O’Moore County will travel to O’Connor Park to take on neighbours Offaly in Saturday’s opener and, speaking to RTE Sport, the former Kilkenny ace said: “The hopes and ambitions are to win your matches and get to the final - simple as that.

“It’s about being comfortable in saying that and for players to set their targets. Your target has to be to win your matches and get to the McDonagh final.

“This is the Championship that’s open to us; that’s the be-all and end-all and anything less than that will be measured as not succeeding.

“Success will measured in progression too, in that the players are improving and getting better, but our ambition is to make the McDonagh final.”
