Both clubs are looking to go far in the championship at both codes.
How Ballinamere and Durrow handle injuries over the next few weeks could be the deciding factor in winning a county quarter final or not.
That's according to Midlands 103 commentator Brian Gavin after last weekend's final round of group games of the Offaly Senior Football Championship.
Durrow will face Edenderry in the quarter finals in two weeks time, while Ballinamere are back in action in the hurling championship this weekend against Belmont.
Gavin says being successful at both hurling and football is very difficult:
