Offaly Senior Football Championship Semi-Final Preview

Thursday, 17 September 2020 08:14

There's storylines aplenty in this year's championship.

This weekend will see the finalists decided for the Offaly Senior Football Championship.

On Sunday at 5pm, defending champions Ferbane meet a rejuvenated Tullamore.

The bookies have chalked this one up to a win for holders, but former All-Ireland Hurling final referee Brian Gavin says an upset could be on the cards:

Before that on Saturday it's the meeting of 2019 beaten finalists Rhode and Edenderry.

Rhode's Niall McNamee has been prolific, racking up over 20 points in the championship thus far.

Brian Gavin says Rhode's brand of football will give them a slight edge:

Our coverage of that game is brought to you by Eden Decor Centre, Edenderry. For paints, papers, plumbing, lighting, hardware, and their bathroom showroom. See edendecor.ie"

The other game in the senior ranks is the relegation play-off, where Clara will be looking to avoid the drop for the first time since the 50's against Bracknagh.
