Laois' James Duggan top scored with 3-5, Gearoid Lynch with the other goal.
Jack Gillen, Josh Coll at the double and Owen McCabe struck the net for Westmeath while Eamonn Cunneen was immaculate with his frees as he struck eight points.
A stunning strike from Delvin's Josh Coll was our 2nd goal of last night's thrilling 4-33 to 4-27 extra-time defeat away to Laois in the Leinster U20 Championship.

What an U20 game in O’Moore Park! Westmeath 11 points down at half time. Unreal heart to come back and go infront. Savage second half performance. Go on @kevobrien12 and finish the job now in extra time 💪

Also the Laois TV commentators are class 😃 @CLGLaois
Westmeath’s U20 hurlers hit 31 scored totalling 39 points and LOST tonight. That is ludicrously heartbreaking stuff. https://t.co/0i2moS1Eee

We gave it our all. Very proud to manage our great group of men on the @westmeath_gaa U20 panel. They emptied the tank for our County and I couldn't be more proud of them. Best of luck to @CLGLaois for remainder of championship.
