Reward for McNulty as Laois work it out

Laois manager Justin McNulty hailed what he felt was his team’s best performance over the last two years, as they dumped Monaghan out of the All-Ireland championship with a six point win in O’Moore Park yesterday.

The Armagh man and his team have drawn much criticism this year, in particular from inside the county after the defeat by Longford in the first round of the Leinster SFC. But there could be few complaints after yesterday’s win.

They dominated in almost every sector, scoring two fantastic goals and pulling Monaghan apart all over the field.
