There minors had a good win a few weeks ago too and are now in the Leinster semi. There seems to be talent there but then again we seen what happened Laois underage talent in football too

Fair play to Laois. Wasn't at the game but just a text there and seems well deserved.

I think Laois beat us at minor level a couple of years back and I think this is the bones of the same team maybe.

Got two late goals to win it!!!

To say I am surprised is an understatement. Why John Henderson is the manager of Dublin U21s I do not know.

Well done Laois. Lets hope they can build on this.

Great win Laois, heard they had a good side this year alrite...but were pissed off drawing the Dubs 1st up.

1/10 i think Dublin were to win this...anyone have a bet on Laois??

Well done indeed. But is it a case that the Dublin revival has stalled and they're now back to square one. Hopefully Laois go on to prove this isn't the case.

Well done to Laois. A victory like this shows there is hope for any county prepared to put it the work.

A great result for Laois hurling. I don't think too many saw that result coming so fair play to them for providing Laois hurling with a much-needed boost. A good win for Wexford as well.

Well done to Laois. It proves that determination and will to win will pay off.

Gutted for my own lads of course but delighted for Laois. Hope they can keep this up now and become a real force. KK may still be top dog (until this year) but it would be brilliant for there to be nothing separating all of us going into every championship encounter and no foregone conclusions to any match!

Great news Laois! Well done!

Great win for Laois, delighted for them. Great to see after the weekends mauling. Good to see a renaissance at underage in all counties, it can only bode well for the game. Also good to see Dublin's momentum broken in both U-21 and minor this year, although the minors are not out yet it was a big win for Wexford. Laois also beat Offaly in minor so maybe things arent as bad as we all thought.

I dont think Wexford will see Dublin's defeat as making Leinster easy for Kilkenny. Its a big ask to go to Kilkenny and get a win but these lads bet Kilkenny last year in U-21 and certainly wont fear them. Whether or not we'll win I dont know, but dont think Kilkenny will underestimate Wexford either.

We wont be going up to KK to be beaten out the gate so I dont think Dublin been beaten makes Leinster easy for Kilkenny.I hope not anyway!

Can any of our Kilkenny posters tell us anything about their U-21 team this year?
