Tuesday, 26 August 2025 13:10

Last year's beaten finalist are bouncing back from a slow start to this year's championship.

Four clubs have booked their passage to the knockout phase of the Offaly Senior Hurling Championship after last weekend's games.

Birr, Belmont, Kilcormac Killoughey, and Shinrone are through with Coolderry, Ballinamere, and Tullamore hunting for the final two places.

Ballinamere continued their recovery from an opening day defeat to Coolderry with a 1-23 to 0-17 victory over Seir Kieran in Banagher on Saturday.

A win against Birr in the final round will guarantee their place in the knockouts.

Their forward Brian Duignan says his team are still improving and have more work to do:
