Incredible save at the death secures historic Knockbeg win
It was a victory for courage and commitment by the Leinster champions who produced a grandstand finish to deny St. Mary's who were also chasing their first title at this level.
Laois senior Donie Brennan may not have lived up to pre-match expectations but made a telling contribution on the scoreboard while Sean Ramsbottom, Shane O'Neill, Colm Doran, and Simon Shorthall were others to perform heroically for the winners.
