Offaly SFC Review: Rhode Secure A First Win Of The Season

Monday, 17 July 2023 16:43

Declan Gorman's side claimed a deserved win in their bid to retain the Dowling Cup.

The Offaly Senior Football Championship officially got underway at the weekend.

With the four main favourites all squaring off in each of their respective groups.

Rhode began with a 1-10 to 0-09 win over Edenderry on Friday night.

Ruairi McNamee scored 0-05, and Eoin Rigney got a crucial first-half goal to see off the Edenderry challenge.

Elsewhere in Group 1, Durrow produced a shock seven point win over Clara. Billy Fogarty ended with 1-05 in a man of the match display.

Both sides ended the game with 13 men as Durrow's Jack Fogarty and Ciaran Burke along with Clara's Conor Doyle and Barry Egan all being sent off.

Tullamore began with a 3-11 to 1-13 win over Ferbane in group 2.

Three first half goals from Jay Sheerin and two from Dan Fox was enough for Niall Stack's side to secure their opening two points.

Kevin Nugent scored Ferbane's only goal through a penalty.

And finally, Shamrocks and Bracknagh played out an entertaining draw in Walsh Island, 2-09 to 1-12.

Nigel Dunne was the star man for Shamrocks as he kicked 1-08, while fellow inter-county player Peter Cunningham bagged an impressive 1-06 for Bracknagh.
