Laois upbeat ahead of Galway clash

Laois will be facing a hungry Galway side on Saturday evening when the Tribesmen taste their first action of the 2007 championship in Portlaoise.

Looking back through the counties' previous meetings during the past five years it would be easy for the casual follower of the game to point to a Galway victory this weekend, but this is not as clear-cut a case as people might think.
