The two sides clash in a midlands derby this evening.
Laois' under 20 hurlers will have to find a new level if they're to compete with Offaly in their Quarter Final contest in O'Connor Park this evening.
That's Midlands 103 commentator Jack Nolan's take on the the Leinster Championship meeting between the two midlands counties.
Laois manager Damien Carter says his players will be on "a revenge mission" after many of them lost in their Leinster final meeting with Offaly in the Minor grade in 2022.
Nolan says things may have changed since then:
The game in Tullamore gets underway at 7pm this evening.
