Tullamore Crowned Offaly U-20 Football Champions

Wednesday, 22 September 2021 07:57

They produced a dominant display in the final.

Tullamore completed a dominant run at U-20 level by defeating neighbours Durrow in convincing fashion last night. 

The only scare they received in four games was the opening round, where they had only five points to spare over Wheery in August. 

They then went onto defeat St. Vincents and Clara in the next two rounds on a combined scoreline of 9-25 to 0-15. 

Up stepped Durrow for the attempted giant-killing in Tubber but they too were no match for their opponents, despite Tullamore being without two of Offaly's All-Ireland winning side John Furlong and Oisin Keenan-Martin. 

Goals from Diarmuid Egan, Luke Egan and Shane Enright were more than enough to see them over the line in this one, 3-13 to 1-1. 

Durrow can take plenty of heart from their own run to the decider but beyond the 15th minute, they were outmatched in many areas and soldiered on grimly in spite of the mounting scoreboard.
