Laois went in at the break one point ahead, but goals from Eamonn O'Callaghan, Cathal McNally and Eoin O'Flatharta after half-time turned the game on its head.

Laois Ross Munnelly also saw his penalty saved by Kildare keeper Mark Donnellan in the first half.

Kildare now book a date with Dublin in the Leinster Championship semi-finals, while Laois take on Antrim in the qualifiers next Saturday.
