Hyland stars as Laois cruise to victory
Winger Willie Hyland rifled over 12 points in a man-of-the-match performance while the Laois defence was dominant throughout.
Two first quarter goals from Neil Foyle had Antrim playing catch up and their hopes were further dented with Liam Watson was red carded for a pull on Eoin Costello. Laois, after playing against the wind, led by 2-7 to 0-9 at the break. A Neil Mcmanus goal gave Antrim some hope soon after the restart but the midlanders, led by Hyland quickly set about ending reasserting their lead.
