It brings an end to a largely successful campaign for Derek Delaney's side.
The Laois U20 Hurlers have missed out on a spot in the Leinster Hurling Championship final after suffering a 14 point defeat to Kilkenny in Portlaoise last night.
A Kyron Cuddy goal just before half time closed the gap to just three points at the end of the opening half.
However, Kilkenny took control in the second period and ran out comfortable winners in the end on a scoreline of 26 points to 1-9.
The Cats as a result progress to the Leinster Final where they will meet Dublin after they got the better of Galway in O'Connor Park.
