THE good people of Laois waited 111 years to host Dublin in the Championship and may well be prepared to wait the same amount of time for the Blues' next visit after this record O'Moore Park massacre.
For Dubs' fans, the first half in particular was manna from heaven watching Jack McCaffrey's first Championship outing in three and a half years, Paul Mannion's in two and a half and a feast of scores right in front of them at the Town End.
The fare wasn't quite as good in the second half from their point of view as they watched Eoin Lowry smash two goals in response in front of them, but the game was well over by then.
The gigantic gulf between the sides was evident well before the interval, by which time the Dubs held a 23-point lead.
In the end, plenty of the visiting supporters traipsed out as dark clouds gathered overhead and, as the rain came down and Barry Judge's final whistle brought a merciful end to proceedings.
The Dubs looked sharp and were ruthless for the most part, chalking up four goals inside 34 minutes.
