Laois did nothing more sophisticated than hold their shape in that period, absorbing Dublin’s runners and pilfering from their curious mistakes. He finished with 1-4, but for Dublin, it was an evening for simply getting the job done before they meet a resurgent Meath in next Saturday’s Leinster final.
