Laois put the disappointment of relegation behind them in spectacular fashion at O’Moore Park this afternoon when a blistering burst of goals either side of half time crushed Longford and set up a tantalising local derby with Kildare in the quarter finals of the Leinster football championship, writes Kevin Egan.

“Laois and Kildare is a big one” agreed Peter Creedon after his side’s win, before playing down expectations in advance of that clash.
