The Laois U-20 footballers booked their place in the Leinster final for the second successive year on Friday night last, defeating Gay Campbell's Kildare by six points in a robust performance.
Laois now return to the Leinster final on Friday week, March 6th, for a 7.30pm throw-in at Netwatch Cullen Park, Carlow, where another showdown with Tom Gray's Dublin awaits.
A first half goal from Portlaoise's Damon Larkin pushed Laois into a lead they wouldn't relinquish, their dogged defence coming out trumps against a Kildare forward unit devoid of options in what was a low-scoring affair at O'Moore Park.
For those unable to attend or unwilling to brave the weather for the game, the GAANOW service has highlights below:
