Laois boss Dempsey confident off-field problems are thing of the past
Player indiscipline has been an all-too-common theme in the county down the years and Dempsey expressed his displeasure last year with players who chose to go drinking following a number of defeats.
“I sense it’s over,” he said ahead of Sunday’s championship opener against Meath. “I think we are done and dusted with all the bad things. Laois down the years, if there was a mishap off the field we got an awful lot of press about it. Maybe sometimes we deserved it but it wasn’t other times. This year they have been absolutely brilliant. They couldn’t have done any better for us. We can’t say we will definitely win but we have a great chance.”
