The teams are now standing for a moment’s silence for the late Liam O’Connor.

We’re getting set for throw-in here.

Early scoring chance for St Vincent’s as Diarmuid Connolly demonstrates his threat as he is pulled back.

St Vincent’s 0-1 Portlaoise 0-0: 2 mins – Mossy Quinn taps over the resultant free to put the Dublin champions ahead.

St Vincent’s 0-1 Portlaoise 0-1: 3 mins – Portlaoise quickly draw level as Craig Rogers fires over a free.

Connolly again wins a free for St Vincent’s on the right wing but Quinn’s effort to land a point from the resultant kick comes up short.

Bad wide by Portlaoise wing-forward Craig Rogers. He was in plenty space after Diarmuid Connolly turned over the ball and Portlaoise counter-attacked at speed.

Portlaoise 0-3 St Vincent’s 0-1: 8 mins – Paul Cahillane puts Portlaoise lead as he smashes the ball over the bar from close-range. Then Brian Glynn lofts over a fine point from distance. Good start from the Laois champions.

Goal chance for St Vincent’s as Eamon Fennell barges through but his shot is tipped into the side-netting by goalkeeper Michael Nolan. ’45 for St Vincent’s.

Quinn strikes the ’45 wide with Portlaoise going up the other end and being off-target through Brian ‘Bruno’ McCormack. Portlaoise have been wild in some of their shooting so far.

Portlaoise 0-3 St Vincent’s 0-2: 15 mins – Gavin Burke is fouled and the free is slotted over by Tomás Quinn.

Portlaoise 0-4 St Vincent’s 0-2: 17 mins – And Portlaoise quickly restore their two-point advantage with Paul Cahillane curling over a free.

St Vincent’s still waiting for their first score from play in this game.

Goal for St Vincent’s from Ciaran Dorney!

St Vincent’s 1-2 Portlaoise 0-4: 19 mins – Eventually St Vincent’s probing pays off as they prise apart the Portlaoise rearguard. Ruairi Trainor offloaded to Diarmuid Connolly and he floated a lovely left-foot pass over to Gavin Burke. Rather than tapping over a point, Burke passed in to Ciaran Dorney and he engineered the space to roll the ball to the net. Dorney has shown good goalscoring instincts throughout this season for St Vincent’s.

St Vincent’s 1-3 Portlaoise 0-4: 20 mins – Moments after getting their first score from play in the game, St Vincent’s hit their first point from play. It’s Tomás Quinn who taps over a point after he did brilliantly to rise to keep the ball from going wide and then quickly converted the chance.

Ruairi Trainor hits St Vincent’s second goal!

St Vincent’s 2-3 Portlaoise 0-4: 23 mins – St Vincent’s hit the net again. Good team move with Gavin Burke and Eamon Fennell involved before Ruairi Trainor accelerated clear of the defence and finished with aplomb to the net.

St Vincent’s 2-4 Portlaoise 1-4: 25 mins – Goal for Portlaoise from Craig Rogers.

Gavin Burke had previously pointed for St Vincent’s before Rogers finds the net after a long speculative ball was claimed behind the defence by the Portlaoise wing-forward. He then netted from a tight angle.

Penalty to Portlaoise after Craig Rogers was fouled.

Portlaoise 2-4 St Vincent’s 2-4: 27 mins – Cracking finish to the top corner of the net by Craig Rogers from the resultant penalty. Jarlath Curley had fouled him and the St Vincent’s full-back was booked subsequently.

St Vincent’s 2-5 Portlaoise 2-4: 28 mins – This game has exploded into life. Ruairi Trainor kicks over a point after the goal frenzy.

St Vincent’s 2-5 Portlaoise 2-5: 31 mins – First-half injury-time and Paul Cahillane curls over a beautiful point for Portlaoise.

HALF-TIME: St Vincent’s 2-5 Portlaoise 2-5: All square at the break in Tullamore.

We’ll take a breather after that. St Vincent’s looked to have made a decisive burst when Ciaran Dorney and Ruairi Trainor fired goals. They were 2-4 to 0-4 clear at one juncture but a brace of goals from Craig Rogers have brought Portlaoise back into contention.

St Vincent’s 2-5 Portlaoise 2-6: The second half is underway and Portlaoise claim the first point of the half immediately through Brian Smith.
