Offaly Unchanged For Leinster U-20 Hurling Semi-Final

Monday, 19 July 2021 16:18

They take on Dublin in Parnell Park tomorrow.

Offaly will line-out unchanged for their meeting with Dublin in the Leinster U-20 Hurling Championship tomorrow. 

The semi-final throws in at 7:30 in Parnell Park. 

The faithful produced a strong second half against Kildare last week to set up the clash with previously untested Dublin. 

There is a couple of positional changes but numbers mean little in modern gaelic games so it's no indication of who will actually pick up who. 

There's a notable return to the panel for Cathal Kiely, who has spent the last seven months dealing with ongoing injuries. 

Kiely would have been involved in Offaly's senior panel following two outstanding campaigns at U-20 level and his return to the fold ahead of the weekend is a timely boost for Offaly's chances. 

It'll be incredibly interesting to see when he will be sprung from the bench. 

Offaly starting XV: 

Adam Fitzgerald; Peter Cleary, Dara Maher, Conor Hardiman; Padraic Watkins, Killian Sampson, Luke Egan; Cian Burke, Joe Ryan; DJ McLoughlin, Jack Screeney, Tom Dooley; Charlie Mitchell, Luke Nolan, Niall Lyons.
