Laois ladies team named ahead of National league final

Laois ladies football manager Donie Brenann has kept faith with the 15 that started their league semi final win over Roscommon two weeks ago as they bid to land the National Ladies football league division three title on Sunday.

After a dramatic semi final win over Roscommon that saw them come back from the dead with 15 minutes to go, it's no surprise that the management have kept faith with the same starting 15 ahead of the final with Kildare this Sunday in Baltinglass (4pm).

It has been a great year so far for the O'Moore Ladies and even though manager Donie Brennan said during the week that championship is still their main focus, they now have an excellent opportunity to move up the ladder in the league and play Division two football next year.

Laois and Kildare are no strangers to each other. They played each other in the championship last year and in the first round of the league this year - a game that Laois won. They will also square off against each other in the championship next month.

"Winning the league and not getting out of the group in the championship would be a failure in my eyes" - Donie Brennan

The game will be streamed live through the TG4 YouTube app as Laois look to complete the second part of a treble over their near neighbours in 2021.

Laois beat Kildare and Longford in the league group stages and even though they lost to Wicklow in the final group game, they were already through to a semi final meeting with Roscommon that they came through with a sparking finish.

1. Eimear Barry
