This is a unique picture of a great Portlaoise supporter, Johnny Lynch, of O’Moore Place, who rode to Mountmellick on a donkey to follow the Portlaoise hurlers in an epic game against great rivals, Clonad, played in Mountmellick. The feat developed fondly into legendary status for many generations in the town.

Tom Flynn pays tribute to the men of 1958 who won the Laois football title only for it to be taken away on appeal in Portlaoise Courthouse.
Billy Bohane was one of the greatest hurlers ever produced by Laois and was midfield on the Laois Millennium team.
