Laois: B Deegan 0-10 (7f, 1 s/l); J Quinlan, J Breen, C Byrne 0-1 each. Offaly began to pull clear but Laois did get it back to a three point game with 15 minutes to go. Offaly were crowned Leinster minor hurling champions for the first time since 2000 after they got the better of Laois in front of a bumper crowd of 12,000 in Portlaoise.

Tenacious defending, ravenous foraging in the middle third, clever use of the ball and a spread of nine different scorers all across the field were the key ...

The Durrow player struck 0-03, albeit adding four wides, but Offaly also succeeded in mixing in some excellent short range passing, to create good chances close to goal. The win means the Faithful get the chance to recharge in advance of the All-Ireland semi-finals, while Laois will join Clare and Galway in the round robin series, hoping to get back alongside their two neighbours, Offaly and Tipperary, in the last four of the championship. The majority of scores in the opening half came from frees from Adam Screeney and Ben Deegan, but there was still an incredibly high level of quality to the play as superb scores from play from Guinan, Screeney and Cillian Martin helped Offaly move into an early lead.

Offaly ended a 22 year wait to win the Leinster Minor Hurling title with a 0-21 to 0-13 win over Laois in O'Moore Park on Monday night. As the celebration.
