Dunphy gives Laois extra lease of life
The game started with a flurry of goals, as Willie Dunphy struck twice for Laois either side of an Aodhan McInerney double. DIT were enjoying wind advantage though, and that eventually helped them into a seven point half-time lead, 2-9 to 2-2.
It took Laois until the last minute of the game to draw level, thanks to a long range point from Matthew Whelan. They then kicked on in extra-time, as a couple of late points from Dunphy put the seal on a hard-earned victory.
