Limerick 3-15 Laois 1-13, Nenagh

The GAA's Competitions Control Committee have decided on a venue for the play-off for National Hurling League Division One status for 2008.

Damien Fox's reign as Laois hurling manager got off to a very satisfactory start as the midlanders ended Down's Walsh Cup hopes with a 2-15 to 1-9 defeat at Rathdowney.
