Laois run riot as Galway collapse

Laois 1-20 Galway 0-8

On Saturday night, it was Laois doling out the punishment, although Galway were much more pitiful than Ó Flatharta’s men had been against 2012 All-Ireland champions, when a second-half sending off was the catalyst for their collapse.

Coming on the back of a victory over Louth in Drogheda, it provided evidence that Laois might be making advances but Ó Flatharta was remaining level-headed.
