There's already been one upset as Emo defeated O'Dempseys.
There was a shock result in the Laois Senior Football Championship last night.
Emo became the first side to advance to the quarter finals with a two point win over neighbours O'Dempseys.
2-13 to 2-11 the final score.
Huge congratulations to the Emo Senior football Team and Management super win tonight and we march on to the quarter finals. Well done to all involved ❤️🤍 pic.twitter.com/NlXIQ72J0Y
