Lethargic Laois do enough to take title

Laois 0-10 Kildare 0-6

A fifth Leinster minor title captured for Laois in just nine years and not once did Seán Dempsey’s players even look close to playing to their full potential.

Whether that’s a good or a bad thing remains to be seen. These boys have serious talent oozing from every pore, but the problem may be that they know it. Winning every provincial title from U14 on up will do that to a bunch teenagers.
