Mix Of Youth And Experience Remain In Offaly Senior Football Championship

Monday, 4 October 2021 at 15:02

The draw takes place at 7:45pm tonight.

A potential repeat of the 2020 Offaly Senior Football Final is on the cards in the last four of this season's competition. 

Rhode, Tullamore, Ferbane and Durrow will be in the hat for the draw at 7:45 this evening. 

Two goals from Jack Clancy and one from Ronan Maguire ensured Ferbane overcame Edenderry on Saturday evening. 

Experience also won the day in the clash between Rhode and Shamrocks yesterday. 

Niall McNamee top scored with seven points including four from play as the reigning champions ran out five point winners. 

Results:

  • Ferbane 3-11 - 0-14 Edenderry 
  • Rhode 1-17 - 2-9 Shamrocks 

It's shaping up to be two games of youth v experience no matter what the outcome of tonight's draw. 

Rhode and Ferbane bring plenty of championship and inter-county experience to the table, interspersed with an injection of fresh faces in the forward line. 

Tullamore bring a blend of youth an experience to the table and will face a number of key selection decisions as they aim to make the most of their prolific youngsters. 

They do have the added bounce from playing in a county final last year so they know what it takes to reach that level.

Durrow are the potential joker in the pack as they look to back up a terrific group stage, going undefeated against Rhode and Ferbane in the process. 

Could they pull off a repeat performance in the knockout round? Plenty of key questions and talking points on the cards. 

Our Offaly GAA analyst John Reynolds says Rhode remain championship favourites:
