The last of today's three games at O'Moore Park didn't have the same excitement as the two that preceded it as Laois ran out convincing 0-14 to 0-5 winners over Carlow in the Leinster MFC local derby.

It was one-way traffic throughout as the hosts led by 0-11 to 0-4 at the halfway stage.

The result sees the O'Moore County into the last eight of the provincial championship while Carlow will hope to bounce back when they take on the winners of Louth and Longford in the losers section.
