Foyle and Ross deliver for Laois

Laois 2-12 Antrim 0-21

Laois kept their promotion hopes alive but a lack of intensity in the third quarter almost proved disastrous, although they did respond afterwards , scoring their entire second-half tally of 2-8 in the last 20 minutes.

Laois led 0-13 to 0-8 at the break and were playing well within themselves as Antrim played with just four forwards, leaving Brian Stapleton and Matthew Whelan to their own devices.
