Willie Dunphy rifled over four points from play as Laois stunned Dublin at O'Moore Park.

Dunphy's spirit and skill were evident throughout a memorable match in Portlaoise as Eddie Brennan's team impressed.

Cork proved far too strong for Westmeath at TEG Cusack Park with the prolific Patrick Horgan registering 10 points.

Horgan clipped five from play for John Meyler's outfit, who now face Kilkenny at Croke Park next Sunday.

Laois had several outstanding contributors against Dublin with John Lennon delivering a diligent display in a withdrawn role.

Lennon was a prominent figure for Laois, who frustrated Dublin throughout.
