The Laois Senior Hurling Championship quarter-finals are taking place in Portlaoise this weekend.

Rathdowney Errill, and Clough Ballacolla await the winners of the two ties in the semi-finals.

Portlaoise will be hoping home comforts help them past last year's beaten finalists on Sunday.

They've been the surprise package of the championship.

They got the ball rolling with a win over Castletown, a very creditable draw with Rathdowney Errill followed that.

Tommy Fitzgerald's side were finished their group campaign with a heavy loss to defending champions Camross.

Abbeyleix bounced back from an opening day defeat with a win over Rosenallis and a dramatic last minute victory against The Harps.

The action in O'Moore Park throws in at 2pm on Sunday afternoon.

Camross meanwhile will have to overcome the challenge of the Harps.

They're another club that have had to bounce back from an opening day defeat.

After a 10 point loss to Rathdowney Errill, Camross recovered to beat both Castletown and Portlaoise to ease into the quarters.

The Harps had one win in the group stages against Rosenallis, and that was enough for them to scrape into the quarters.

Although they were close to beating Abbeyleix last time out.

They meet the champions at 3.45pm.
