Connell Kelly, last year's minor football championship top scorer, displayed his quality again as provincial holders Louth made it back-to-back wins in Leinster.

Chasing top spot in Group 1 to nail down a semi-final spot, Louth turned in a strong second-half display to see off Laois in Hunterstown 0-19 to 0-11.
