Appeal Expected Following Offaly Senior Football Final Red Card

Monday, 1 November 2021 15:34

The details of the replay between Rhode and Tullamore have also been confirmed.

Rhode and Tullamore will clash again on November 14th.

Offaly's fixtures committee confirmed the details shortly after the conclusion of the senior football final in dramatic circumstances yesterday afternoon.

It'll leave the winner just seven days turnaround before they take on the Kildare champions in the first round of the Leinster championship.

Niall McNamee capitalised on a gap in Tullamore's rear guard in the 65th minute of their encounter to rifle home an equalising goal and earn the defending champions an unlikely replay.

They had spent the majority of the game at a man disadvantaged following Alan McNamee's dismissal for a high challenge in the 23rd minute.

The Rhode camp have been silent on the issue in the aftermath but will launch an appeal process in the hope of having him available for the replay on Sunday week.
