The sun shone and the rain fell in intermittent waves but there was no sign of lightning striking twice in Portlaoise last night as Kilkenny made short work of an outclassed Laois side in this Bord Gáis Leinster U21 final.

Laois may have accounted for initial favourites Dublin in the first round, but very few outside their own camp are giving them any chance of overcoming Kilkenny.

Limerick goalkeeper Nickie Quaid emerged for the second half in the Gaelic Grounds on Saturday night sporting a bulky jacket he hadn’t worn in the first half because standing around idle is one sure way to pick up a cold.

Limerick 6-21 Laois 1-11

Raging hot favourites Laois were given the fright of their hurling lives by neighbours Carlow in this exciting Leinster Under-21 championship semi-final at Dr Cullen Park last evening.

After the drubbing their seniors took on Sunday, Laois showed there is plenty of spirit left in the county with a wonderful win over Dublin in the Bord Gais Energy Leinster U21 HC quarter-final last night.

This result was 12 months in the making.

Laois 0-20 Carlow 0-13

Teenager Jack Guiney proved an inspiration for Wexford as he struck 3-5 to help confine Laois to next year’s Allianz Hurling League Division 2A at Nowlan Park yesterday.

WEXFORD made it a dismal week for Laois hurling as they handed the visitors a real mauling in this one-sided Leinster Under-21 hurling championship semi-final at Wexford Park last night.

FOUR days after one of the county’s darkest hurling performances, the Laois U21’s bid to restore some faith in the county when they face Wexford in tonight’s Bord Gáis Energy Leinster hurling championship semi-final.
