Lillis dismisses Parkinson criticism

PORTLAOISE joint manager Mick Lillis brushed off stinging criticism from attacker Colm Parkinson, who was angered at being substituted in their Leinster club SFC semi-finaldefeat to St Brigid’s last Sunday.

Parkinson also vowed not to return to the club colours for the 2012 season when they will be chasing a sixthconsecutive county senior football crown, if Lillis and Mark Kavanaghremain in their positions as jointmanagers.

“I’m not the first manager that Colm has fallen out with but I might be one of the last,” he said, but added he “had no axe to grind” with the former Laois senior.
