The Laois footballers have no more room for error after drawing at home to Carlow last time out.
A determined Laois side will meet an equally motivated Wicklow in the second round of the Tailteann Cup, according to former O'Moore County footballer Gareth Dillon.
Both counties suffered disappointment in their opening games with Laois surrendering a big lead to draw against Carlow while Wicklow were well beaten by Fermanagh.
Dillon says with last week's results, there's no more room for error for either team:
The game starts on Sunday in Aughrim at 3pm.
