Offaly Face A Stiff Test In This Weekend's Allianz Footlball League

John Maughan's men are in quest to avoid relegation.

Offaly face a stiff test on Sunday in their quest to beat the drop from division two of the Allianz Footlball League.

John Maughan's men are in Salthill to face Padraig Joyce's Galway. 

Following a controversial draw last week, Offaly will be hoping to continue the progress which saw them pick up their first point of the campaign against Meath. 

The Faithful adopted a more defensive system that day and it's expected they won't stray too far from the side which lined out a week ago. 

The big question marks are if David Dempsey will continue his deeper role, who will pick up the prolific Shane Walsh and will John Maughan be tempted to include the returning Johnny Moloney. 

An unexpected result out west would be a significant step towards safety however the unbeaten Tribesmen have promotion on their mind and know a win is a necessity to keep pace with Derry and Roscommon. 

Throw-in at Pearse Stadium is 2 o'clock on Sunday afternoon.
