The Laois side were narrowly denied a place in a provincial final.
Ballyhale Shamrocks manager Henry Shefflin says his side have work to do in order to win a Leinster title.
The Kilkenny champions secured a place in the decider with a hard fought 1-18 to 1-15 win over Clough Ballacolla in Nowlan Park on Sunday.
The Laois champions drew level with four minutes remaining, but scores from Darragh Corcoran, Eoin Cody and TJ Reid denied a shock.
They will now face St Martin's of Wexford in Croke Park in two weeks time.
Shefflin says the Laois side made the game tricky for them:
