Ex-Tipperary manager takes over Laois footballers

Mick Lillis led Laois last season, his one-year term ended by Clare in the round 2 qualifiers.

Former Tipperary footballer manager Peter Creedon has agreed to take charge of the Laois footballers, writes Stephen Barry.

Tipperary football has been on the up in recent years, with Laois knocked out of the championship by the Premier county in 2010 and 2014.
