A more controlled Antrim restored their two-point advantage through the first of three excellent first-half points from Patrick McBride while Mark Barry replied for Laois in what was a cagey opening quarter.‘You have to take those chances’ - Monaghan rue plenty as Galway end their season‘They were mean at the back’ - Derry show old defensive grit to knock out Mayo
Laois took full advantage as Barry popped over another score before they pounced for the game’s opening goal in the 28th minute as Brian Byrne fired home confidently past Michael Byrne after a blocked Kevin Swayne shot had run favourably into his path. The pivotal moment seemed to have arrived in the 43rd minute as Eoin Lowry spurned a glorious chance to revive Laois’s fortunes, firing off the crossbar from close range, and from the resultant counterattack, Antrim’s Patrick McAleer ghosted in behind to roll home past Killian Roche.
