Details
Laois came strongly into the game after a tricky start, reeling off 1-02 between the seventh and 15th minutes. Seamus Lacey grabbed an 11th minute goal that put the Division 4 champions ahead briefly, 1-01 to 0-03. Meanwhile, Down had possession and while they fired four of the game's next five points to lead 0-08 to 1-03 at half-time, six wides in the first-half undermined them. The sides shared six points equally in the third quarter, Laois initially scoring three-in-a-row to take the lead before Down responded. Down stretched the gap to five after reeling off six points in a row in all between the 46th and 69th minutes. Laois dramatically grabbed a goal back through Barry in stoppage time to make it an interesting final few minutes.[15][16][17]
Referee: Brendan Griffin (Kerry)
