They reached the quarter-finals last year.
The Laois Minor hurlers are hoping to get back on track when they face Kerry in the Leinster Championship this weekend.
They suffered a disappointing defeat to Kildare last time out, and need a win against the Kingdom to retain hope of making it out of a group which also includes Carlow.
They reached the quarter-finals last year where they were knocked out by Dublin.
The game at O'Moore Park which throws in at 3pm on Saturday is the second part of a double header with the Laois Under 20s taking on Kilkenny beforehand at 1pm.
