OFFALY’S COUNTY SIDES enjoyed a productive day in the Allianz Leagues with both football and hurling sides triumphing.
John Maughan’s football team won their Division 3 South opener by 1-14 to 1-10 against Wicklow in Aughrim, a victory that sets them up for next Sunday’s clash with Limerick, who defeated Tipperary yesterday. Wicklow play in Semple Stadium next Saturday afternoon against the Premier.
Wicklow got off to a fine start with a goal in the 8th minute from Eoin Darcy as they went ahead 1-0 to 0-1 but Offaly responded impressively for the rest of the half to go ahead 0-9 to 1-1, Bernard Allen chipping in with couple of points.
Then Colm Doyle got in for a goal to leave them ahead 1-9 to 1-3 at the break and they were able to hold off their opponents during the second half with Niall McNamee adding on the insurance point late on for a five-point win.
Michael Fennelly’s hurling side backed up their opening day victory against Meath with a convincing success by 2-28 to 0-13 against Kerry. The exchangse were tight early on, 0-6 to 0-5 in favour of the Faithful after the first water break.
The game changed decisively in the second quarter with Offaly increasing their lead from a single point to 15 by the break. Liam Langton and Brian Duignan fired home the goals as they went ahead 2-16 to 0-7 and the Faithful finished the game with 21 points to spare.
