The two counties meet on Saturday to battle for the Division Four league title.
The Laois footballers are on notice heading in to this weekend's Division Four league final.
That's according to the O'Moore County's capatin Evan O'Carroll after his side's only league defeat came against this weekend's opposition, Leitrim.
The Crettyard forward has made a telling contribution to his side's success so far this season, scoring 2-19 in the seven games that led Laois to Croke Park.
A comfortable victory over Waterford last time out secured promotion to Division Three, while Leitrim saw off Wexford, Carlow, and Longford to claim the final promotion spot.
O'Carroll says his teammates are more than aware of the challenge they face this weekend:
