Laois begin search for fifth boss in nine years

Laois GAA top-brass will meet later this week to begin the search for a fifth county football manager in nine years.

Tomás Ó Flatharta became the first inter-county football manager to tender his resignation this summer, quitting the Laois post on Tuesday night.

The position is not expected to be filled until later in the summer and a board official said there would be no preference as to whether or not Ó Flatharta’s replacement is a Laois native.
