Laois footballers dominate GAA.ie Tailteann Cup Team of the Week

With a trip to Croke Park on the horizon for Billy Sheehan and his Laois side following their win over Limerick in Saturday's quarter-final, they have had four players named in this week's Tailteann Cup Team of the Week.

Laois' goalkeeper Killian Roche rightfully gets chosen in goals as he was the star of the show with his many saves ensuring Laois secured a clean sheet for the first time since Laois' league opener against Sligo. The Killeshin man also kicked the final score of the game from a 45'. 

Portarlington's Paddy O'Sullivan also takes his place on the team after the half-back's superb performance on Saturday. As well as being a rock in the Laois defence, the young man also raised two white flags for Sheehan's side.

Kieran Lillis, who has been a mainstay in the Laois midfield line for many years, kicked a fabulous score in the first-half while the Portlaoise man also covered every blade of grass in the Gaelic Grounds on Saturday from his midfield berth.

The final player named in this week's team is O'Dempsey's forward Mark Barry. Last time out against Fermanagh, it was his two scores that ultimately decided the contest while on Saturday he kicked over four points with two coming from play.
