McNulty leaves Laois post

Laois senior football manager Justin McNulty stepped down from his role last night.

The Armagh man took over from Sean Dempsey in 2010 but despite gaining promotion in his first year, failed to garner sufficient results in the meantime.

Despite an impressive showing in the All-Ireland qualifiers against Donegal, he had been under pressure to deliver a winning performance following their Leinster championship defeat to Louth in May.
