Offaly will be looking to continue momentum following their Mcdonagh Cup triumph.
Offaly Senior Hurling Manager Johnny Kelly says he is expecting a stern challenge from Carlow this weekend as they begin their Allianz Hurling Division 1B campaign.
The Faithful County will be looking to build on what was a successful 2024 season, having secured their first Joe Mcdonagh Cup title back in July.
Meanwhile Carlow will be hopping to bounce back, as they ended their season losing a relegation play off to Antrim to send them straight back down to the second tier.
Kelly isn't looking much further then getting past Tom Mullally's side on Saturday.
Throw in at O'Connor Park on Saturday is at two o'clock.
