The giddy reaction in the capital when Dublin’s name was paired with that of Laois last weekend was only heightened with the realisation Pat Gilroy’s side will face Mayo or Down in the semi-final should they do their jobs this evening.

Dublin 1-16 Laois 0-11

Laois will field an unchanged team in Sunday afternoon's Leinster SFC quarter-final against Dublin at Croke Park (throw-in 4pm).

Laois 0-10 Longford 0-9

Midfielder Padraig Clancy has failed to recover in time for Laois' Leinster SFC opener against Longford in Portlaoise on Sunday (throw-in 2pm).

NOT for the first time, a controversial refereeing decision played an inordinately prominent part in deciding the outcome of a game in Croke Park but, this being the second tier of the league, no-one got too hot and bothered about it all.

Laois manager Justin McNulty has named the same team that defeated Donegal two weeks ago for Sunday's Allianz Football League Division 2 final against the same opposition.
