Supporters gathered to welcome home the Offaly Minor Hurling Panel after they lost out in the All-Ireland Final to Tipperary this weekend.

The Faithful youngsters led throughout the second half of the final, but a Paddy McCormack goal in the fourth minute of injury time gave Tipp a 1-17 to 1-16 win at Nowlan Park.

Offaly Minor Hurling Manager Leo O'Connor has described the late defeat to Tipperary in the All-Ireland Final as a "bitter pill to swallow".
