Irish international Zach Tuohy helps club win 9th Laois county title in-a-row

Portlaoise are nine-in-a-row-champions in Laois.

The success story continues for the modern day kingpins of Laois football as they dispatched Emo this evening in the county replay by 2-13 to 0-7 Last week's game had Emo's Mick Lawlor as the star of the show, but the 42 year-old was overshadowed tonight by the heroics of returning Portlaoise son Zach Tuohy who grabbed 1-2, all from play, over the course of the hour The Carlton man is only home from Australia for their off-season but started tonight's win after coming off the bench in last week's dramatic stalemate https://twitter.com/willocallaghan/status/657936141472178176 https://twitter.com/MidlandsSport/status/657974468669743104 https://twitter.com/Killian_Whelan/status/657975901855068160 Not everyone was happy to see him play though with some unsettled that a professional sportsman could be playing against amateurs https://twitter.com/DuignanMichael/status/657993505827110912 https://twitter.com/Woolberto/status/657994197937627137 https://twitter.com/raighne2003/status/657994819596369920 Although the celebrations tonight will be fairly muted for the squad, as they now face a Leinster club championship outing tomorrow in Carlow, less than 24 hours after their county success https://twitter.com/CLGLaois/status/657994122230411265 https://twitter.com/PalatineGAA/status/657995106885201920
