Women's Football: Laois pulled off a shock 4-19 to 2-10 victory over Meath in Ratoath yesterday to throw the TG4 Leinster football championship wide open.
Before yesterday's game, it was looking like Meath and Dublin would advance to a Leinster final, but Laois have now set themselves up for a more favourable semi-final draw.
Mary Kirwan was the star of the show for Laois yesterday - scoring a personal tally of 2-8. Laois led 2-13 to 0-4 at half-time with the goals from Mary and Martha Kirwan.
Mary Kirwan scored her second goal after the resumption, while Gemma O'Connor also hit the Meath net in the second half.
The Royals did battle back in the second period with goals from Shauna Bennett and Caitriona O'Shaughnessy, but they never looked like getting anything out of the game.
Reigning All-Ireland champions Cork advanced to the Munster final with a 1-12 to 0-7 win over Kerry in Donoughmore. The Rebels remain on course to retain their title thanks to Mary O'Connor, who scored six points against the Kingdom.
In Ulster, Armagh beat Donegal 2-17 to 0-10 in the second-leg of their quarter-final tie. Armagh, who not meet Tyrone, won by an aggregate of 28 points.
