Last year's beaten Laois SFC finalists won an entertaining affair against Emo on Sunday.
Well timed scores proved the difference between O'Dempsey's and Emo on Sunday.
That's according to O'Dempsey's after they ran out 2-15 to 1-14 winners at Laois Hire O'Moore Park.
The first half in particular saw a big swing between both sides, with Emo leading by four points at one stage, only for O'Dempsey's to turn things around for a four point lead of their own at the half time break.
Speaking to Pat O'Sullivan, Peter O'Leary of O'Dempsey's says they scored when it really mattered:
