Sarsfields and Portlaoise’s Minor teams collided in the final fixture of the Laois LGFA season. With the Minor ‘A’ cup at stake, there was a decent attendance in Annanough for this clash. In the end, though, Sarsfields proved far too slick and powerful for the Portlaoise outfit. Ciara O’Neill and Aoibhe Foyle were an awesome duo up top while the rest of the Sarsfields team won their individual battles as well.

It was only three weeks ago in Annanough where St Paul’s lifted the Laois Ladies Junior football championship title over Killeshin in front of a decent crowd. In a highly competitive clash, an injury-time point from substitute Anna Keegan proved enough to edge St Paul’s over the line that day. That victory would have tasted very sweet for St Paul’s but their season was finished yet. St Paul’s would go ahead and represent Laois in the Leinster Ladies Junior football championship for 2024.
