The O'Moore County move on to face Louth in the quarter final this weekend.
Former Laois player Gareth Dillon is playing down talk of the O'Moore County failing to close out games.
That's after Justin McNulty's side claimed a 10 point win over Wexford in the Leinster Championsip Preliminary Round on Saturday.
Despite a sizeable lead the midlanders let in two goals in the last 15 minutes, to continue their trend of conceding late scores following defeats in their previous two league games against Clare and Fermanagh.
However the Portlaoise man says Laois were in complete control and says overall it was a job well done.
The O'Moore County take on Louth in the Leinster Quarter Final in St Conleth's Park at 3 o'clock on Sunday.
