Whelan wary of ‘obsessed’ Laois

CIARAN WHELAN has rejected suggestions that Laois are “obsessed” with booking a rematch against Dublin in the All-Ireland semi-final.

The Leinster semi-final meeting between the counties two months ago saw Mick O’Dwyer’s side suffer a 14-point defeat.

But three wins and last week’s draw against Mayo have left them tantalisingly close to a second chance against Paul Caffrey’s side.
