It'll be games against Antrim and Westmeath for Laois.
Cheddar Plunkett believes their recent defeat to Antrim will stand them in good stead when the sides meet again in the Leinster Championship relegation playoff.
Defeats against Wexford and Dublin put both sides in danger of the trapdoor back to the Joe McDonagh cup.
Plunkett says their next two championship and league fixtures are crucial:
