Brian Duignan and Dan Ravenhill combined to score 18 points between them in Laois Hire O’Moore Park on Sunday afternoon as Offaly put Laois to the sword in the second half of their local derby contest, setting up a fascinating battle with Antrim in Tullamore next weekend.

Both goalkeepers, Mark Troy and Enda Rowland, were called into action in the first half and they delivered key saves in a contest that was otherwise very closely contested.
