At Camross GAA Grounds · Camross, Co. Laois
The Laois Junior C Hurling Championship is the county’s entry-level adult hurling grade, and its knockout stage begins with a quarter-final between Camross and Borris-in-Ossory Kilcotton on Monday 10 August 2026, throw-in 7:00pm at Camross GAA Grounds. Camross is one of the more storied hurling parishes in Laois, though this fixture involves one of the club’s junior teams rather than its senior side, giving younger and developing players a competitive outing in the county’s junior structure. Borris-in-Ossory Kilcotton travel from the west of the county for a game that, at quarter-final stage, carries real knockout stakes for both clubs.
Junior C hurling in Laois tends to be a mix of developing club sides and clubs whose main hurling teams compete at higher grades but who field a junior panel to keep numbers playing across the parish. The games are typically close and hard-fought, played in front of home support rather than large crowds, and offer a straightforward way to see local club hurling in a small, characterful ground.
Camross is a rural parish in west Laois, near Mountrath, reached via local roads off the R445. It does not have a direct public transport link, so a car is the practical way to get there; Portlaoise, on the M7 motorway and the Dublin Heuston to Cork and Limerick rail line, is the nearest town with rail access, about 25 minutes away by road.
The Slieve Bloom Mountains are close by to the north and west of Camross, offering walking trails if you want to combine the match with a countryside visit. There is more to see in Co. Laois.
