Resurgent Kildare Heading To Portlaoise With Every Chance

Friday, 31 March 2023 14:49

Midlands 103 commentator Joe Troy believes Offaly will do very well to handle David Herity's Kildare side.

Kildare will take some beating on Sunday when Offaly and the Lilywhites meet for their league final in Portlaoise this weekend.

That's how midlands 103 commentator Joe Troy reads the contest which is a rematch of their Division 2A meeting a couple of weeks ago.

On that occassion the two sides played out an entertaining draw which left Kildare topping the standings on points difference.

Offaly have since beaten Kerry in the league semi-final but have lost key players like Oisin Kelly and Ross Ravenhill to injury.

Troy says Kildare should be considered favourites but he's hopeful The Faithful County will have something for them at Laois Hire O'Moore Park on Sunday:
