NHL Preview: Offaly v Kildare

Wednesday, 15 March 2023 12:26

Both teams will put their unbeaten record on the line in Tullamore on Sunday

Offaly will have to beat a team that's made huge strides in the last decade if they're book their place in the Allianz League Division 2A final.

That's according to Midlands 103 commentator Joe Troy who believes Kildare deserve high praise for the way they've improved hurling in the county.

Just like Offaly, David Herity's side are unbeaten through the league so far, and will be aiming to make it five wins on the spin.

Troy reckons the cards may be stacked against the Faithful County this weekend:

Huge blow for Offaly and Belmont hurlers as scans confirm Oisin Kelly has done his anterior cruciate ligament on other leg during last weekends match against Carlow.

A huge knock to the star forward after working so hard to get back and faces another season out.@MidlandsSport
