Despite a strong start, Camross were outmatched in Portlaoise on Sunday.
Clough Ballacolla recovered from a shaky start against the county champions to book their place in the Laois Senior Hurling Champioship final on Sunday.
Camross raced into a seven point lead in the opening quarter of the game before Willie Hyland's team found their feet.
After a slow start, Clough Ballacolla managed to reach the break just a single point down.
A competitive second half followed until Stephen Bergin scored the game's decisive goal with ten minutes left on the clock.
Hyland's teams saw out a 1-20 to 2-13 victory from there.
He says his players had work to do after their poor start:

Clough Ballacolla will face Rathdowney Errill who avoided a fifth consecutive championship semi-final loss after they beat Abbeyleix 1-19 to 3-10.
