Offaly SHC: Ryangh's/KK Battle Can Set Championship Tempo

Thursday, 1 August 2024 17:49

Two of the county's strongest sides meet in Rath on Friday evening.

St Rynagh's are set to face Kilcormac Killoughey in what looks like the highlight of this weekend's action in the Offaly Senior Hurling Championship.

The two clubs have won 9 of the last 12 Sean Robbins Cups between them, with KK looking to defend their title this year.

Both outfits came away with decent wins from their first outings.

Kilcormac were far too strong for Tullamore, while St Rynagh's landed a bit of a statement win by beating a fancied Coolderry side by 9 points.

Midlands 103 commentator Joe Troy says he expects the defending champions to be tested:

Throw in at Rath GAA is set for 7.30pm tomorrow evening.

Elsewhere in Group One, Coolderry meet a Seir Kieran side making their first championship appearance this year.

Coolderry were well beaten by St Ryanagh's on day one.

That's at 6pm on Saturday.

In Group Two, Kinnitty produced the shock of the first round beating this year's league champions, Belmont.

They return to action against last year's beaten finalists Shinrone tomorrow evening at St Brendan's Park in Birr.

That's a 7.30pm start time.

Belmont will be hoping to recover from that surprside opening day loss when they take on Ballinamere on Sunday.

The game in Banagher throws in at 6pm.

Troy looks forward to the rest of the weekend's action with David Hollywood:
