Limerick 3-15 Laois 1-13: Laois will join Offaly in the National Hurling League Division Two next season after being outgunned by Limerick in last night's play-off.
Laois battled bravely to preserve their Division One status but a late surge from Limerick, for whom Andrew O'Shaughnessy notched a personal tally of 2-8, condemned them to the second tier.
