Round 3 Result

Laois: 0.18

Sligo: 1.8

Standout Laois Players vs Sligo:

Daragh Galvin was excellent in attack, showing sharp vision to take a quick pass from Robert Tyrrell and score from play. He beat the Sligo defence to win a free converted by Evan O’Carroll, and finished with 0–3. He also played a key role in setting up scores throughout.

Robert Tyrrell impressed in midfield with strong runs, accurate passing, and effective ball carrying, linking defence to attack well.

Simon Fingleton stood out on his return from injury in defence: winning high balls, tackling well, and applying tight defensive pressure while distributing smartly out of defence.
