Tierney the talisman for lucky Laois

Laois 0-18 Wexford 0-17

Wexford were leading by two points when Tierney came into the fray in the 63rd minute for black card recipient, Damian O’Connor.

Ben Brosnan fired over a 45 as he entered the fray but Tierney made no mistake with two placed balls into the wind from frees and the Ballyroan man spotted match-winner, Niall Donoher and sent a cross-field kick-pass in his colleague’s direction. Donoher did brilliantly to win possession under pressure and held his nerve to kick his third and most valuable point.
