It was a hugely entertaining finale to a game which was riddled with mistakes in the early stages but in the end Laois prevailed thanks to a late point from Neil Foyle at Carlow’s expense.
Colm Bonnar’s men were not at the level that they had set against Antrim in the Christy Ring Final but still nearly took the victory but in the end it finished 2-14 to 1-16 in favour of Laois.
