By Daragh Ó ConchúirCarlow 2-17 Louth 0-12: The Carlow rising continued in Portlaoise and if the margin of victory was flattering, there was no questioning its merit after a commanding second-half performance. Louth openly scored three points after the resumption, their efforts suffocated by a relentless Carlow cordon. Carlow had a slight wind advantage in the opening period and they kicked some very good points from distance, via the boots of Broderick and Darragh Foley. The elements weren't so forceful as to hinder the efforts of the opposition however and Louth registered some good scores themselves.
