Late McCormack point sees Laois snatch draw

THIS was more a point dropped than a point gained for Louth and Laois, but the home side had more reason to be pleased with the outcome in Portlaoise yesterday.

They were two points in arrears at the end of normal time but scores from Chris Conway and Brian McCormack brought a cracking third-round contest in the Allianz NFL to an exciting climax.

Both managers were positive about the result. Liam Kearns’ only reservation was that he felt Laois gave away two goals rather easily.
