'I Can't Give The Lads Enough Praise' - Offaly Minor Hurling Boss Leo O'Connor

Friday, 2 July 2021 09:54

There's just 24 hours to go until they take the field in the delayed 2020 Leinster Final

A number of Offaly's minor footballers will have to pick themselves up quickly as focus switches to the delayed 2020 Leinster Minor Hurling Final on Saturday.

There's going to be less than 72 hours for Cormac Egan who is likely to start both games and others who are part of the team to recover.

Offaly are looking to capture their first provincial title since 2000 in their first final appearance in 18 years.

Throw in against 57 time winners Kilkenny is at noon.

Boss Leo O'Connor says it's a massive opportunity:

O'Connor has named his team this lunchtime:

Mark Troy; Patrick Taafee, Charlie Bracken, Oisin Kilmartin; Luke Watkins, Sam Bourke, Joseph Hoctor; Colin Spain, Cathal King; Lochlinn Quinn, Cormac Egan, Eoin Murphy; Daniel Bourke, Charlie Mitchell, Luke Carey.
