Laois booked their place in the Leinster U20 Hurling Development League Tier 1 final on St Patrick's Day with a 2-22 to 1-14 victory over Kildare last night.

Padraig Brennan scored 0-7, while Colin Byrne hit 2-1 as the O'Moore County saw off their neighbours in the Laois LOETB Centre of Excellence.

Neighbours Offaly and Westmeath meet in another Tier 1 clash at Faithful Fields this evening (throw-in 7.30pm). Whereas Offaly have already beaten Meath, it will be Westmeath's first outing in the competition. 

There are two other games down for decision in Tier 2 this evening, with Wicklow taking on Louth in Eire Óg, Greystones at 8pm and Cavan and Fermanagh meeting in an historic all-Ulster encounter on the 3G pitch at Kingspan Breffni.
