Laois go extra mile to join Kerry in last four

LAOIS boss Joe Higgins hailed the resilience of his players following their dramatic TG4 All-Ireland Ladies SFC quarter-final victory over Tyrone in Birr on Saturday.

Leinster champions Laois sent last year’s beaten All-Ireland finalists crashing out of the championship with a tense 1-17 to 2-12 extra-time victory.

Tyrone had salvaged a 2-10 to 1-13 draw at the end of the regulation hour with a point from sub Eilish Gormley.
