A shortage of players will prevent Laois from participating in any adult camogie competitions in 2020.

Laois Camogie Executive took to Facebook to confirm that the O’Moore girls would be unable to field teams in either the national league, Leinster championship or All-Ireland intermediate championship. The midlanders retained their Division Two status last year and contested a Leinster senior championship semi-final.

The Executive pointed out that Laois did not have enough players at their disposal and thanked manager Kieran Delaney – who was appointed in November – for his commitment and time:

"Following an Executive Meeting held on Monday 6th January 2020 it is with great regret that Laois Camogie are not in a position to field an Intermediate Team for the 2020 competitions due to unavailability of players.

"Laois Camogie would sincerely like to thank Kieran Delaney and his management team for their time, commitment and professionalism to date. Laois Camogie would also like to acknowledge the players who did commit but unfortunately there wasn't enough to form a panel."
