Remaining Semi-Final Spot Up for Grabs In The Laois SFC This Evening

Tuesday, 19 October 2021 12:04

Emo and Graiguecullen meet in O'Moore Park this evening.

Emo and Graiguecullen will battle for the final spot in the Laois SFC semi-finals tonight.

The rescheduled contest throws in at 7:30pm in O'Moore Park.

It's a repeat of the 2020 semi-final in August in which the border team came out on top by four points.

They've had contrasting trajectorys since then, with Emo dropping their opening game of this year's championship against what we now know was a strong O'Dempseys side before narrowly beating the now relegated The Heath and threatened Rosenallis.

They've endured hearthache in the past week and the whole county is hoping they can put in a performance for themselves regardless of the outcome.

Graiguecullen have regrouped since being beaten in the 2020 county final, taking out The Heath and Stradbally in the winners section en route to this chance at a fourth semi-final in five years.

Goals changed all the last-eight ties at the weekend and Graiguecullen will be well aware of Emo's propensity to raise a green flag so expect them to adjust accordingly.

We will have updates on the game across the evening.
