Laois played host to midlands rivals on Sunday.
Laois manager Tommy Fitzgerald is reflecting on a costly second half collapse in his side's opening national hurling league fixture last weekend.
Laois played host to midlands rivals Offaly on Sunday and reached the break two points clear, with the assistance of a reasonable breeze.
The tables were turned dramatically in the second period and the Johnny Kelly's Joe McDonagh Cup champions were 9 points clear by the 64th minute.
Fitzgerald says discipline and accuracy deserted his side during the game:
