Laois secured their second ever Joe McDonagh title over the weekend.

Pure desire, work rate and want, it was top class. 

That’s the message from Laois Hurling Manager Tommy Fitzgerald after his side secured the Joe McDonagh title following their 1-27 to 1-18 victory over Carlow on Saturday. 

Cillian Dunne shined with 1-6, with Stephen ‘Picky’ Maher also impressing with 0-9.

Dunne’s 54th minute goal gave his side the incentive to win the game as they outscored their opponents by 0-8 to 0-4 in the final 20 minutes. 

Victory marks a return to the Leinster Hurling Championship for 2027. 

Fitzgerald says his sides work rate was spot on:
