Laois 1-9 Derry 2-12 BY Brendan O’Brien, Portlaoise

As the scoreline indicates, Laois failed to raise a flag in that last quarter while Derry plundered their creaky back line for 1-3.

Laois started well and took the lead for the second time after 14 minutes when Billy Sheehan’s goal cancelled out one from Paddy Bradley.
