Offaly's Christy Ring Challenge Dependant On Big Display

Thursday, 5 November 2020 10:57

Michael Fennelly will be expecting a clinical performance from the Faithful.

Offaly will be aiming to get their Christy Ring challenge back on track in round 2B.

Michael Fennelly brings his side to Newry to meet Derry at 1:30 on Saturday.

A win against the Oak Leaf County would take them into the semi-finals alongside Down, Kildare and either Roscommon or Sligo.

Derry have lost twice since the resumption, going failing to overcome Down on two occasions.

Our Offaly hurling commentator Joe Troy is expecting a ruthless display from Offaly:

Offaly starting XV:

Stephen Corcoran (Coolderry); Damien Egan (Belmont), Ben Conneely (St Rynagh’s), Paddy Delaney (Kinnitty); Dan Doughan (Shinrone), Cillian Kiely (Kilcormac-Killoughey), David King (Coolderry); Eoghan Cahill (Birr), David Nally (Belmont); Shane Kinsella (Kinnitty), Jason Sampson (Shinrone), Peter Geraghty (Kilcormac-Killoughey); Colm Gath (Drumcullen), Oisin Kelly (Belmont), Liam Langton (Clodiagh Gaels).

Subs: James Dempsey (Kinnitty), Ciaran Burke (Durrow), Brendan Murphy (Birr), David O’Toole Greene (Shamrocks), Sean Cleary (Shinrone), Thomas Geraghty (Kilcormac-Killoughey), Aidan Treacy (St Ryangh’s), Brian Duignan (Durrow), Ross Ravenhill (Durrow), Adrian Hynes (Seir Kieran), Kevin Dunne (Seir Kieran).
