Minor finalists will try again

Murphy has only just been introduced as a substitute, but following some impressive buildup by Colm Begley and Chris Bergin, Murphy nervelessly clipped over his vital score from 30 yards.
In stark contrast to the senior decider, this was a game full of flowing football and innovative play. Laois held a 1-6 to 1-5 interval advantage with the goals coming from Colm Kelly and Dublin’s Mark Vaughan, and the Dubs had moved clear by two points at one stage, Laois fully deserved a second chance on Oct. 12.
