Profile: Peter Fennell
I feel lucky to have witnessed “The Town” during the ‘60s, reborn in the ‘70s, through to an All-Ireland club title in football in 1983 right up to recent years and last year winning the ninth title in a row.
Mick Mulhall was one of the greatest goalkeepers ever produced by Laois, with whom he played for over a decade.
He won nine county medals between 1971 and 1987, and two more as sub to Paddy Bracken, as well as five Leinster club medals in 1972, 1976, 1982, 1985, 1987 and an AllIreland club in 1983. He also played with Leinster and was Laois Footballer of the Year for 1982.

“Portlaoise GAA in Turmoil” – This was a front page headline no club would wish to see in their local paper.
Tom Flynn pays tribute to the men of 1964 who won the Laois football title for the first time in 57 years.
