Table Toppers Offaly Land Second Consecutive Comeback Win

Tuesday, 13 February 2024 14:50

Faithful captain Ellee McEvoy tells Midlands 103 about the positive mood in camp.

Promotion is on the table for the Offaly footballers in the ladies national football league after their latest victory in Division Three.

The Faithful County found themselves in a tight spot after just 20 minutes, with Louth racing into a 2-7 to 0-3 lead.

The gap at half time was cut to 6 points, and from the second half onwards, Offaly found their defensive and offensive shape, enforcing 12 turnovers and scoring 2-5.

After her team battled back from behind to win once again, Offaly captain Ellee McEvoy says the team is ready for progress this year.

McEvoy finished up with 1-4 at full time.

She caught up with Will O'Callaghan on the Inside Line to reflect on the game:

Greg Farrelly's charges are now tied at the top of the Division Three table after three games with Roscommon and Clare.
