Rathdowney-Errill and Borris-Kilcotton have booked their places in the Laois SHC final.

Veteran Enda Meagher's injury-time point handed Rathdowney-Errill a dramatic 0-17 to 1-13 replay victory over Camross. Camross led by 1-7 to 0-8 at half-time thanks to Niall Holmes' goal, but the winners rallied to take the lead with two minutes remaining through Eric Killeen. Zane Keenan levelled from a free before Meagher won it at the death.

In yesterday's other semi-final replay at O'Moore Park, Borris-Kilcotton also had a point a point to spare - 1-10 to 0-12 - over Ballinakill Gaels. 

A Joe Campion goal helped Borris-Kilcotton to a 1-5 to 0-1 lead after 22 minutes, but with Cha Dwyer to the fore, Ballinakill battled back to trail by three - 0-6 to 1-6 - at the interval. Dwyer eventually restored parity in the 59th minute, but Daire Quinlan had the final say for Borris-Kilcotton.
