Laois' battling performance against Clare didn't come as a surprise to Davy Fitzgerald.

In fact, the All-Ireland winning manager believes the O'Moore County are a stronger hurling force than people think.

"I don't think people have given Laois enough credit in the last year," he said to the Examiner.

"I thought they've done great work. I knew it was going to be a battle.

"Were our lads a little complacent today? Probably were. My honest opinion is I think Laois were better than us today. I think we were lucky to get out of there."

He concluded: "So you have to give Laois more credit than [they're getting].

"I watched their games in Division 1B with interest because I know what they're trying to do and I think they've been very unlucky in a few of them."
