Familiar Foes Laois And Tipp Meet In Callan For Relegation Semi-Final

Former O'Moore County footballer Mags McEvoy looks forward to a crucial game for Laois.

Laois will have to tighten up defensively if they're to overcome familiar opponents in their Senior Championship relegation semi-final.

That's according to former O'Moore County footballer Mags McEvoy ahead of the county's meeting with Tipperary this weekend.

Stephen Duff's footballers have failed to pick up a win all season, suffering relegation from Division Two of the league under Tommy Hewitt and Billy Kiernan, followed by difficult campaigns in both Leinster and the All Ireland.

Tipperary meanwhile were 9 point winners over Laois in the league.

The Premier County picked up one win in their provincial championship against Waterford and followed that up with a draw against Armagh and a narrow loss to Meath in their All Ireland group.

McEvoy tells Midlands 103's David Hollywood Laois can get a result if they manage to lock down Tipp's attack:

Throw in at John Locke Park in Callan, Kilkenny is set for 2pm on Saturday.
