Offaly SFC Review: Rhode and Tullamore Record Convincing Wins

Tuesday, 1 August 2023 14:26

The re-scheduled fixture between Durrow and Ferbane will be played this evening.

Three of the four scheduled second round fixtures took place in the Offaly Senior Football Championship over the weekend.

Durrow will take on Ferbane in Group One this evening after their original match was postponed on Sunday morning.

Last season's two finalists both had comprehensive victories in the second round of the Offaly Senior Football Championship.

Reigning champions Rhode surged to a 4-17 to 1-09 win over Shamrocks in Glenisk O'Connor Park.

Anton Sullivan and Ruairi McNamee scored a combined 4-05 to secure their place in the knockout places.

Meanwhile, Tullamore were 20 points better than Clara as Niall Stack's side also staked their place in the knockout rounds.

Harry Plunkett, Luke Plunkett, John Furlong and Nigel Bracken got the goals for Tullamore.

The battle to avoid exiting the championship will come down to the final day in group two after Bracknagh and Edenderry ended in a draw, 0-09 a piece was the final score.

The group one clash between Durrow and Ferbane will be played this evening after their match which was originally scheduled for last Sunday was postponed due to the sudden passing of former Offaly GAA Chairperson Brendan Ward.

Throw in from Tubber is at 8:00pm.
