Portlaoise will now face O'Dempsey's in the quarter-finals.
Pat Critchley says patience proved key in Portlaoise's comfortable senior football championship win over Arles Killeen on Sunday.
The Town man saw his club run out convincing 2-10 to 4 point winners in O'Moore Park to book their 'A' Championship quarter final berth.
Last year's beaten semi-finalists stuggled against a strong breeze in the first period, taking 20 minutes to register a score.
The second half saw Portlaoise enjoying having the wind at their backs and managed to break down a stubborn Arles Killeen defence.
Pat Critchley says when a team wants to play defensively, it's hard to break down, at any level:
The 35 time county champions will now take on O'Dempsey's in the last eight.
The other quarter finals see defending champions Portarlington play Courtwood, Killeshin against Graiguecullen, and St Joseph's face Emo.
