Ruairi O'Connor's five second have goals separated the sides at full time. That's right, five. Five goals. In one half.The full forward, who wore number 11 on the night, laid absolute waste to the opposition backline as he ran bloody riot, caused complete carnage and ripped them apart mercilessly to rack up a personal tally of 5-7. But that was in 60 minutes, not just one half like his five goals... so, you know, it's not that impressive. Earlier in the year, Tyrone player Lee Brennan hit 3-14 in the one match against Strabane and, whilst O'Connor's 22-point haul falls just one shy of that, five goals in one 30-minute period surely must be a record in championship football. The serious bit of coverage that Laois TV are offering continues to be the gift that keeps on giving. https://twitter.com/SportsJOE_GAA/status/893370418307923968 The good folk of the O'Moore county are all over the Laois championship like it's going out of fashion and their coverage of games with highlights packages and commentary is second to none. And thank heavens someone was there to witness Ruairi O'Connor in this sort of mood as he racked up 5-7 in one night. Yes, it's worth saying again, five goals in one half. Sit back and enjoy the forward's frightening individual performance courtesy of Laois TV. At the moment, the service charges a one-off payment of €5 for a month's pass to see unlimited games but that could change to a free service down the line. It's some job though.
