They play Antrim in Navan this evening.

Laois U-20 hurlers went viral last week following a 4-33 to 4-27 win over Westmeath in the Leinster Championship. 

They earned praise across social media for the quality of their score taking and conviction in grinding out the win and progressing to the next round. 

All that will be for naught if they don't manage to overcome Antrim tonight in the second round. 

The two sides meet in Pairc Tailteann in Navan at 7:30pm this evening. 

Laois will be hoping for more of the same from James Duggan who's epic score off his knees while battling cramp was viewed across the country. If you haven't had time to catch it yet then just have a look. 

Manager Ollie Haley will be hoping his charges can maintain their performance levels from a week ago. 

The starting team is:

Lorcan Fitzpatrick; Ian Shanahan, Alan Connolly, Danny Brennan; Padraig Brennan, Ciaran Burke, Niall Coss; Thomas Keys, Thep Fitzpatrick; James Duggan, Tadhg Cuddy, Gearoid Lynch; Ciaran Byrne, Mark Hennessy, Cathal Murphy.
