Ladies Football Championship Weekend Wrap

Monday, 19 July 2021 08:57

Laois and Kildare served up another great contest.

Laois have put themselves in pole position to qualify from their Intermediate Ladies Football Championship group. 

They played out another absolute classic with Kildare at the weekend, three weeks on from another ding-dong contest in the league final. 

The ever sensational Mo Nerney struck 2-7 while her partner in the full forward line Sarah Ann Fitzgerald raised a pair of green flags as they combined for over 80% of the O'Moore county's tally. 

It sets up a clash with Roscommon next weekend with a win assuring Laois of a more favourable last eight draw. 

Roscommon have already tasted defeat to the lilywhites on the opening weekend so Donie Brennan's side will be quietly confident heading into it. 

Elsewhere Westmeath picked up a vital win against Sligo. 

Sarah Dillion and Ciara Blundell combining for 2-6 of their 2-12 scoreline in a two point win over the Yeats county. 

It leaves the Lake County with an outside chance of making the quarter-finals. 

They must hope to beat table topping Wexford and that Longford slip up against Sligo next week. 

In a tightly contested group there is a possibility of both occurring and plenty of twists and turns are in store.
