Laois quench fire in the Yellowbellies

Laois 0-14 Wexford 1-08

Laois were safe going into this game, carrying an outside chance of promotion dependant on other results, while Wexford needed a victory to secure their status. A Wexford win never looked on the cards though as the home side gave a listless display and were flattered to have been just three points adrift at the end.

Even though they could not afford any slip-up here, it still did not bring the necessary urgency to their play and only led once in the game when Shane Roche opened the game’s scoring with a fourth minute pointed free.
