Laois Hurling Championship Reaches Semi-Final Stage

A double header in O'Moore Park in Portlaoise on Sunday will decide those.

Taking the field at 1:30, Borris-in-Ossory/Kilcotton and Rathdowney/Errill clash.

Leading scorer Mark Kavanagh will be out for the defending champions, giving increased hope of an upset to Borris/Kilcotton.
