Draw Made For Laois Senior Football Championship Last Eight

Monday, 4 October 2021 09:48

The games will take place in a fortnight.

Portarlington and Graiguecullen have been kept apart from Portlaoise in the last eight of the Laois SFC. 

Laois SFC quarter-final draw:

  • Portarlington v Stradbally
  • Ballyroan-Abbey v Courtwood
  • O’Dempsey’s v Portlaoise
  • Graiguecullen v Emo

Those ties take place in two weeks time. 

It follows on from wins for Portlaoise, Stradbally, Emo and Courtwood this weekend. 

Perennial champions Portlaoise had two points to spare over St. Josephs, overcoming a two point deficit heading into the last quarter to do so. 

Three first half goals for Stradbally saw them squeeze past Killeshin in somewhat unconvincing fashion. 

Their former player and inter-county footballer Gary Kavanagh says they'll need to improve greatly to have any chance to progress further:

Courtwood needed four goals and extra-time to see off Clonaslee St. Manmans and advance to the last eight. 

A brace from Nigel Dunne along with strikes from Luke Doran and Sean O'Flynn in the added period allowed Courtwood to out-gun Niall Corbet's ten points for Clonalslee. 

4-14 to 2-17 the final score in a highly entertaining contest. 

Another three goal haul for Emo saw them past Rosenallis who will be disappointed with their own shooting performance on the day.
