Stephen Maher is out of IT Carlow's Fitzgibbon Cup quarter-final against LIT on Tuesday after breaking his collarbone in Laois' heavy Allianz League defeat to Waterford last night.

'Picky' revealed the bad news to his twitter followers this morning, which means he will also miss Laois' remaining league games against Antrim and Limerick. It's another blow to the O'Moore County who are fighting for their Division 1B survival after losing their first two games to Offaly and the Deise.

Broken Collarbone no more hurling for awhile!! #Disaster #Fitzgibboncup #Laois #ITCarlow
