The two sides couldn't be separated after the 60 minutes.

Portarlington and Courtwood will have to meet again after their Laois Senior Football Final finished in a draw in Portlaoise yesterday afternoon.

The game finished 2-12 to 1-15 in normal time, and will now be replayed on the 26th of this month in O'Moore Park. 

A Paul O’Flynn goal gave Courtwood a deserved early lead, however, Jake Foster’s goal helped Portarlington take a 1-8 to 1-4 lead at the break. 

Alan Kinsella's late goal gave Courtwood the lead near full time, only for the game to end level after a final free by sub Dylan Keane.

Both clubs could have won the title over the course of the final few minutes, but there was controversy over the referee's failure to award a free for a challenge on Port's Rioghan Murphy.

Portarlington manager Pat Roe says the decision at the end wasn't the right one:
