McNulty survives board battering

Justin McNulty will continue as Laois manager despite serious reservations raised about his tactics at last night’s county board meeting in Portlaoise.

Following lengthy debate, the Armagh native’s appointment of Noel O’Reilly as selector was adopted in the wake of Sunday’s Leinster SFC preliminary round defeat to Longford.

O’Reilly, a Cavan native, had already been working with the backroom team but was drafted in as selector by McNulty in place of Portlaoise man John Mulligan who had stepped aside due to illness.
