Cooney - Border Rivalry "Adds Spice" to Tailteann Cup Semi-Final Meeting

Friday, 17 June 2022 at 07:51

Offaly and Westmeath are preparing for a rare national semi-final meeting.

Westmeath Senior Football Manager Jack Cooney says their long border with Offaly adds some "spice" to this Sunday's Tailteann Cup semi-final.

The neighbours meet at Croke Park, with both teams looking to become the first winners of the new competition.

Jack Cooney spent four years in charge of Rhode in recent years, and knows the rivalry that's there between the counties.

They're preparing for a tough battle with the Faithful County:

🗣’A great friend and huge respect for him, he’ll be back.’ @westmeath_gaa boss Jack Cooney managed Niall Darby for four years with @RhodeGAA and is wishing the @Offaly_GAA defender well in his recovery from an ACL injury. pic.twitter.com/Ut4A7xvrfx
