Abbeyleix St Lazarian’s manager PJ Peacock says opponents Camross deserve to be “hot favourites” heading into Sunday’s Laois senior hurling championship final.

Camross are chasing a record-extending 27th title in the O’Moore County, while are into their first senior hurling decider in 74 years.

Speaking to LeinsterExpress.ie ahead of the showdown at Laois Hire O’Moore Park (3.30pm), Peacock hopes that his side can upset their opponents at the fourth attempt this season.

“I’ve said to this group that if you want to win a county final, you want to be beating Camross,” he said.

“They’re the team that everyone wants to beat in a county final. When you mention Laois hurling outside of Laois, Camross is the first team mentioned.

“For us, to be able to beat Camross in a county final, that’s the ones we want and that’s the one we’ll be gunning for.

“They deserve to be hot favourites, they’ve won a Leinster League and a Division 1 this year. They’ve also turned us over three times this year, let’s see, can they do it a fourth time?”
