Hyland points the way for impressive Laois
A strong start to the game laid the foundations for this victory, as they opened up an 11 point lead after just 20 minutes, before being forced to play out the rest of the game under intense pressure as Wexford, minus their Oulart-the-Ballagh players, tried to reel them in.
Laois were quickest out of the traps, with Willie Hyland pointing two early frees to set them on their way. Chris Murray then took advantage of a mistake from Wexford goalkeeper Noel Carton to sweep home the game’s first goal, with Willie Hyland adding another minutes later.
