Chris Conway is a Gaelic footballer from County Laois.[1][2]
He plays for the Arles-Kilcruise club. He formerly played at centre forward for Laois and in 2003 was part of the Laois team that won the Leinster Senior Football Championship title[1] for the first time since 1946,[3] before departing the inter county scene after a disappointing 2006 season.
Conway emerged on to the scene in 1996 as part of the Laois minor team that won the All-Ireland Minor Football Championship title.[1]
However possibly his finest hour came in 2003 when his club Arles-Kilcruise won the Laois Senior Football Championship title under the captaincy of his brother, Paudge.
Conway is also making a name for himself off the field and the Knockbeg College schoolteacher guided his “Alma Mater” to a historic 2005 All-Ireland Senior Colleges title.
Conway finished his inter-county career with the Laois football team at the end of the 2007 season.
