Michael Fennelly Names Offaly Team To Face Wicklow

Friday, 23 July 2021 15:47

A spot in the Christy Ring final is up for grabs.

As if this week couldn't get more exciting for Offaly fans, there's the small matter of a Christy Ring semi-final tomorrow. 

Wicklow are in town to face Michael Fennelly's team with one win to their name against Roscommon in the group phase of the competition. 

Their other game was an eleven point defeat to Derry, landing them a second placed finish and a spot in the last four. 

Offaly are three weeks removed from a 22-point success over Sligo and will enter this game overwhelming favourites to progress to a final against last season's foes Derry or a rematch with the Yeats county. 

Wicklow and Offaly have met once already in the league and the faithful ran out 1-32 to 0-10 winners as they cantered to the division two title. 

Speaking to Midlands103 ahead of the game, Drumcullen's Colm Gath says the atmosphere has changed this season:

The team has been named this afternoon:

Conor Clancy; Paddy Delaney, Ciaran Burke, David King; Aidan Tracey, Ben Conneely, Killian Sampson; Leon Fox, Ross Ravenhill; Oisin Kelly, Liam Langton, Jason Sampson; John Murphy, Brian Duignan, Eoghan Cahill.
