Antrim 0-17 Laois 1-16Laois hurlers secured Division 1B hurling for 2019 with a hard-fought relegation playoff win over Antrim at Dunloy on Sunday. Antrim had the lion’s share of possession in the opening 10 minutes, with Laois keeping in touch through Ross King’s free-taking. Paddy Burke put Antrim ahead on 55 minutes, 0-15 to 1-11, before a King brace had the visitors back in front. When Eoghan Campbell split the posts, the sides were level for the ninth time, but the two late King points were enough to keep Laois in the top flight.
