Offaly Advance To Christy Ring Cup Semi-Finals

Saturday, 3 July 2021 at 16:42

They've dispatched a plucky Sligo side this afternoon.

It took possibly longer than expected for Offaly to pull away from Sligo in the first half but when they did so, it was emphatic.

The outcome was a 22-point success 2-39 to 2-17 and a spot in the semi-finals of the Christy Ring Cup. 

It'll be the bare minimum for Michael Fennelly's side to reach the final this season especially after last year but he will be pleased that the sheer volume of scores they amassed in the league continued in Markievicz Park this afternoon. 

Shane Dooley and Aidan Tracey nabbed the goals and Eoghan Cahill top scored as usual with 0-16 points, extending his tag as the faithful's top scorer all season.

Plenty to work on for Offaly as Sligo exposed some areas of concern through their industry and endevour but it's job done and one step closer to a return to the Joe McDonagh Cup for 2022.

They'll now play either Wicklow or Derry in that last four encounter on the weekend of the 24th/25th of July.
