Laois ready for crack at Dublin

It has been the case of Dublin first, the rest nowhere, in Leinster for a long time now.

Under Paul Caffrey, Pat Gilroy, and Jim Gavin, the Sky Blues have won eight provincial titles in succession and 13 out of the last 14.

For many, that has removed a lot of the championship’s lustre but Laois manager, John Sugrue has no truck with that notion.
