Portlaoise pipped by late Crokes crusade

THE most famous victory in the history of the Kilmacud Crokes club?

Proud boss Paddy Carr left the issue open to debate as his Dublin champions secured the bravest of Leinster club quarter-final successes over hosts Portlaoise.

Trailing by seven points after a horrendous start, Carr’s injury ravaged Crokes team showed both style and substance to force a 10 point turnaround by the final whistle.
