The Laois Ladies senior football club championship has been running since 1976 - 40 finals. The competition has seen five clubs winning the title, with Sarsfields (Mountmellick) winning the latest in 2015, captained by Jenny McEvoy. The final has been played in a number of grounds around the county, often in O'Moore Park. The cup is named after Lulu Carroll who was one of Laois' greatest ever ladies footballers. The winners progress on into the provincial championship and Laois has a good record for a small county, having won the Leinster championship on 14 occasions. All-Ireland glory has proven more elusive, however, with The Heath securing Laois' only two titles, in 1985 & 1986.
