Sarsfields now know who their opponents in the Leinster Championship will be

Sarsfields' players and management were probably busy today keeping an eye on the Leinster Senior Championship round one tie between Palatine of Carlow and Laois champions Portlaoise.

Portlaoise came through that encounter with a 0-15 to 1-8 win, which is truly remarkable considering the Laois champions only played their county final yesterday evening. They started the game without key player Zac Tuohy as they looked to freshen things up ahead of their tie with the Carlow champions and it looked a bold move when they found themselves just two points ahead with 10 minutes to go, but they saw the game out well and ensured a safe passage to the next round.
