Laois selector Dermot Murphy says that his players have not got carried away in the fuss surrounding the omission of key forward Donie Brennan from the O'Moore squad for Sunday's Leinster SFC clash with Louth at Parnell Park.Murphy told Midlands 103 that dropping Brennan for the game hasn't distracted the squad from the task at hand. "We have been getting on with the job. You could have allowed it to be a distraction but with only one week to go to the Championship we couldn't afford that to be a distraction. Players have been keeping their heads down and working really hard and we are pleased about that."
Pint-sized forward Brennan was dropped from the panel prior to a recent training weekend in Clare, which included a game against the Banner County, reports the Irish Examiner. Murphy says that apart from an injury to defender Pauric McMahon in a challenge game against Offaly, preparations are on track ahead of the Leinster SFC quarter-final against the Wee County.
