WATCH: You absolutely won't believe what happened in a Senior Football semi-final in the Midlands over the weekend

Yesterday in the Laois senior semi-final, O'Dempsey's cornerback Johnny Kelly did something quite spectacular.

While taking a free and aiming to pass to the other cornerback, he miskicked the ball and ended up scoring an own point! In fairness to him, it would have been quite a nice score up the other end of the pitch. Maybe he'll fancy himself as a corner forward now

In the end, O'Dempsey's won the game by eight points, But Iwedon't think that will stop teammates from giving Johnny Kelly some slagging at training this week.

At least Johnny has a county final to look forward to. The Killinard side will play county champions and neighbors Portarlington in two weeks' time
