That 2001 game was in Portlaoise not Sligo, seem to recall Mick Lawlor having an altercation with one of the officials that day but I might be wrong, but it definitely was down there.

Markievicz had a pitch inspection and passed so game goes ahead, have had brutal weather up here.

You're right. Annoyed I got that wrong.

In that case, the last league defeat was in 1972 Laois 0-7 Sligo 0-9.

Fair play Gaastats i feel much more confident about today now.

Just keeping it real.

First time Laois have lost to Tipp twice in a row since losing league matches in 1956 & 1972. Co-incidentally, both games were round 3 fixtures as well!

Laois then went unbeaten from then to June 2010, when Tipp beat us in the championship.

7 Different clubs have won the the Tyrone SFC in the last 7 years.

I think that's uncommon?

I'll look for you.

There has been no repeat winners in the Sligo SFC since 1989. In hurling, Laois has the longest run of non-repeat winners (2003).

Galway clubs have never lost to a Leitrim club in the Connacht senior football club championship - 20 matches.

Dublin have the longest 100% winning streak of any county against another county in the SFC - 14 v Wicklow.

Tipperary have the exact same number of wins v Kerry in the SHC.
