Limerick Victory As Good As It Got For Sheehan And Laois In 2023

Thursday, 21 December 2023 16:19

Their Tailteann Cup Quarter Final win preceded a difficult day in Croke Park against Down.

Laois' Tailteann Cup quarter final win over Limerick is the county's standout result this year, according to Midlands 103 commentator Pat O'Sullivan.

After disappointment in a league campaign that saw them fail to escape division four, and a muted Leinster campaign ended early by Dublin, Billy Sheehan and his players travelled to Limerick with few backers ahead of the last eight contest.

The O'Moore County fought back from a five point deficit to win the game 1-14 to 0-14 and claim a place in the Tailteann Cup semi-final.

There, they conceded eight goals in a hammering at the hands of Down in Croke Park in what was to prove to be Sheehan's last game over the county.

Pat O'Sullivan says the Limerick game was the high water mark for 2023:
