Thursday, 21 April 2022 07:52

It was a busy night of action for Offaly, Westmeath and Laois GAA.

Offaly's Under 20 hurlers were beaten by 11 points by Kilkenny last night in the quarter-finals of the Leinster Under 20 Hurling Championship.

The Cats led the game throughout to eventually win 3-21 to 1-16 at Nowlan Park. They go on to face Galway in the semi-finals.

Meanwhile, Laois, Offaly and Westmeath have progressed to the knockout stages of the Leinster Minor Football Championship after the final group stages games last night.

Laois go into the quarter-finals on the back of an impressive 4-19 to 0-12 win over Louth at O'Moore Park.

Offaly were beaten by Longford 2-11 to 0-8, but enter a preliminary quarter-final away to Carlow.

Westmeath were beaten 2-14 to 0-11 by Dublin in Mullingar, but also enter a preliminary quarter-final at home to Wicklow.

Both those games are fixed for next Wednesday evening.

Tonight, Offaly's Under 20 footballers continue their quest to retain the Leinster and All Ireland crowns.

They host Kildare at O'Connor Park in the Leinster semi-finals, with throw-in at 6.30pm.
