Ruthless Offaly punish misfiring Laois

A convincing 2-19 to 0-17 victory over neighbouring Laois in O'Moore Park this afternoon has seen Mickey Harte and his Offaly team make it two wins from two in their Division 3 campaign.

Offaly led right from the off and despite some positive periods from Laois, there never appeared to be a road back for the hosts.

Harte’s men made a flying start to the contest and held a five-point lead within five minutes as Keith O’Neill kicked a quick brace of points before Jordan Hayes completed an excellent team move with a tidy finish from close range.

Shane Tierney added to the lead with a fisted effort between the sticks before the hosts eventually got off the mark thanks to a Kevin Swayne mark.

The Offaly dominance continued with a score each for Jack Bryant and Dylan Hyland, though Justin McNulty’s charges managed a reply through first time starter Ronan Coffey.

Coffey’s point was just a brief blip for the Faithful County as they would go on to notch the next four scores to no reply though Diarmuid Egan, Robbie Gallagher. O’Neill, Sean Tierney and Bryant.

Laois’s wasteful finishing was proving costly as they were being limited in the amount of chances given and when they got them their accuracy wasn’t where it needed to be.

The hosts were given a major lift when Damon Larkin was on the end of a pass from Danny O’Reilly and he slotted nicely into the net.

The Portlaoise man won two high balls moments after which resulted in a point each for Pa Kirwan and Ronan Coffey.

Coffey was on the mark again to cut the gap to five points before disaster struck for the hosts when Paddy Dunican made a marauding run up field and was on the end of a passing move to expertly drive the ball into the top right corner to ensure Offaly held a 2-10 to 1-06
