Offaly Won't Take Louth For Granted Despite Westmeath Wobble - Martin Murphy

Friday, 28 April 2023 13:10

Mickey Harte's players were down and nearly out at half time against Westmeath.

Westmeath may have highlighted some chinks in Louth's armour, but Offaly won't be taking the Wee County for granted .

That's what Offaly Senior Football Manager Martin Murphy is saying ahead of their first Leinster semi-final since 2006.

Meath were eventually seen off, much in part, thanks to a nine point half time lead.

Whereas Louth trailed Westmeath by 8 points at the break, they managed to overhaul that deficit to book their berth in the last four.

Murphy says Mickey Harte's side are well down the road in their development:

Martin Murphy and his management team have named their @Offaly_GAA senior football team that will play Louth on Sunday in the Leinster SFC semi-final in Croke Park.

The very best of luck to the players and management.
