Offaly Remain Winless In Leinster Hurling Championship

Monday, 28 April 2025 09:15

They now find themselves under pressure to stay in the competition.

Offaly are reflecting on what might have been after two defeats from two in the Leinster Hurling Championship.

Their manager Johnny Kelly is expressing his frustration over their inability to capatalise on Galway playing with 14 men, in their defeat to the Tribesmen in Tullamore on Saturday.

The Faithful County were wasteful in front of the posts, and managed to score just five points after Daithi Burke was red carded at the start of the second half in Glenisk O'Connor Park.

They also conceded two avoidable goals in the first period.

The final score was 2-25 to 1-14.

Offaly are left needing at least one win, and maybe more, from their final three games in the competition to ensure they avoid dropping straight back down to the Joe McDonagh Cup.

They face Kilkenny and Wexford away, and Antrim at home on the final weekend.

Kelly says his team under delivered when it counted:
