Kildare travel to Tullamore on Sunday knowing a win would book them a spot in the league final.
Kildare will be flat out to beat to Offaly when the sides meet to determine who finishes top of the division 2A standings and qualifies for the league final.
That's the perspective of Offaly Senior Hurling Manager Johnny Kelly after he saw his side beat Carlow by 1-19 to 1-12.
The Faithful County were full value for their win and now sit tied at the top of the table with Kildare who registered a good win over Kerry on the same day.
Kelly says there's no danger of shadow boxing when it comes to Sunday's fixture:
