Croke Park Defeat Will Serve As Stepping Stone For Laois - Mark Barry

Monday, 15 July 2024 15:04

Despite defeat in the Tailteann Cup decider, Laois are reflecting on a positive season.

Laois' footballers are reading their Tailteann Cup Final defeat as a stepping stone to bigger things.

It comes after the O'Moore County failed to reel in Down in the Croke Park decider to go down by two points.

The scoreline is a significant improvement on the 22 point hammering they received from the same team in the competition's semi-final the year previous.

The highlight of the game was undoubtedly Mark Barry's screamer in the dying minutes to throw the game back in to the melting pot.

The O'Dempsey's forward says he and his team mates will use the defeat for fuel in the future:

He talks about the goal and the game with Aisling O'Reilly:
