Dual players performing juggling acts at club level

READING the papers these days, you could be forgiven for thinking that dual players are almost an extinct species in the GAA. That may be true at inter-county level, but the same can’t be said for the club scene.

Week in, week out players switch codes, sometimes even between senior, minor and U21 level, but no club has performed that juggling act quite like Portlaoise this season.

Last Sunday, the club won the county SHC for the first time in six years, and in three days’ time the footballers will take on Emo in the SFC final.
