Johnny Kelly will likely be tilting for challenge games before the league campaign starts.
Offaly won't be replaying their abandoned game with Galway in the Walsh Cup.
The Faithful County have chosen to accept the 4-15 to 1-11 scoreline as the final result.
Sunday's match was called off after 55 minutes with visibility on the pitch worsening.
That decision now means Laois' meeting with Galway will send the winner to the pre-season competition's semi-final stages.
Offaly meanwhile will next be seen in competitive action in Division One of the National Hurling League on February 4th against Waterford.
