Laois manager Tomas O'Flatharta admits that they were beaten by the better team.
The O'Moore County had no answer to an outstanding performance by Tipperary at Portlaoise last Saturday and despite scoring four goals, they were defeated by a superior Tipp outfit.
In the first half, the Munster side produced a devastating display of point taking and O'Flatharta admitted to the Leinster Express that this was where the game was effectively lost.
"It was a really, really barren spell for us, they were on top in the middle of the field and they were running through, and we couldn't get to grips with them at all," said the former Westmeath and Galway manager.
"We gathered ourselves at half time, and I suppose the lads did show an awful lot of courage in the second half to bring it from being ten points down to be level. We thought we might have been able to kick on from there even, but in fairness to Tipperary they did come back at us, and the black cards didn't help us, but we just have to get on with those as well."
