With the Electric Picnic taking centre stage in Laois this weekend, GAA action is absent, making it the perfect time to look back on last weekend’s drama in the Laois Shopping Centre Senior Football Championship. Round 3 proved pivotal as Portarlington, St Joseph’s, Killeshin and Courtwood all booked their quarter-final spots, with several standout displays earning players a place in our latest Team of the Week. Goalkeeper- Matthew Byron (Courtwood) Reliable between the posts, Byron not only pulled off a crucial one-on-one save but also chipped in with four points from placed balls to steady his side throughout.placeholder image

Rioghan Murphy-Portarlington A constant thorn in the Rosenallis defence, Rioghan hit 1-5 and caused havoc with his pace and movement. His palmed goal inside the opening minutes set Port on their way.
