Classy Cahillane inspires the Town

HE was once on the books of Glasgow Celtic, but, on this display, Paul Cahillane is sure to come to the attention of Laois boss, Seán Dempsey.

The 20-year-old former Irish soccer youth international oozed class at O’Moore Park on Saturday as he slotted three points from play, while also converting a second half penalty to send Portlaoise on their way to a Leinster Club final.

But Clara manager, Pat Flanagan, was furious with the performance of referee, Joe Curley, claiming that “the smaller teams don’t get the calls”.
