Ladies National Football League Division 3 – Round 2

Laois 1-10 Louth 6-5

Louth produced a scintillating attacking display to claim a commanding victory over Laois in Crettyard, ruthlessly dispatching their hosts with a six-goal blitz in Round 2 of the Ladies National Football League Division 3.

Having suffered relegation from Division 2 last season, Laois would have hoped for a strong start in their new campaign. However, their afternoon quickly turned into a nightmare as Louth’s relentless energy and clinical finishing left them reeling.

Early Dominance Sets the Tone

From the first whistle, Louth signaled their intent, pressing high and forcing mistakes from the Laois defense. Their early pressure paid off when they rattled the net for the first time, setting the tone for what would be a devastating attacking performance.

While Laois battled hard to stay in the contest, their defensive frailties were exposed time and again by a ruthless Louth forward line. By halftime, the visitors had already notched multiple goals, leaving the home side with a mountain to climb.

Second-Half Goal Rush Seals the Win

Laois attempted to regroup after the break, but any hopes of a comeback were swiftly dashed as Louth continued their assault. Another flurry of goals in the second half put the game beyond doubt, with their slick attacking play proving too much for the hosts to handle.

Laois did manage to find the net themselves, but it was little more than a consolation on a tough day for the home side. Their inability to contain Louth’s free-flowing attack ensured there was no way back, as the visitors closed out a comfortable and well-earned victory.

Looking Ahead

This emphatic win sends a strong message to the rest of the division, with Louth showing they are serious contenders for promotion. Their clinical finishing and defensive discipline will give them plenty of confidence as they continue their campaign.

For Laois, it’s back to the drawing board. Stephen Duff’s side will need to regroup quickly if they are to turn their fortunes around in Division 3.

Louth will now set their sights on maintaining this momentum in the coming rounds, while Laois must find a way to bounce back from a defeat that will sting for some time.
