Offaly stick with winning combination for showdown with Mayo
Minor footballers hopeful of extending great season
THE Offaly minor football management did not have to spend hours in discussions when they sat down to pick their team for Sunday's All-Ireland Minor Football Championship quarter-final against Mayo in Roscommon.
As expected, they have stuck with an winning combination, selecting the same fifteen that performed so well in their stunning Leinster final triumph over Louth.
They will travel to Dr Hyde Park in a very confident frame of mind, fully conscious of the obstacle that Mayo present but well aware of their own potential and potential to extend their season for another couple of weeks at least.
The Offaly squad is: Jack Ryan (Doon); Caden O'Beirne (Tullamore), Tomas Carroll (Erin Rovers), Cormac Farrell (Edenderry); Patrick Duffy (Tullamore), Tadgh Kelly (Kilclonfert), Eoin Rouse (Tullamore); Eamon Maher (Ferbane), Charlie Duffy (Edenderry); Cathal Weldon (Bracknagh), Dylan Dunne (Clara), Aaron Daly (Clonbullogue); Tony Furey (Edenderry), Cian McNamee (Rhode), Ruari Woods (Belmont). Subs – Max Kruger (Gracefield), Isaac Ryan (Clara), Stephen Byrne (Raheen), Cian Duffy (Doon), Darragh Stewart (Tullamore), Dylan Deehan-Kavanagh (Clara), Daniel Stoyanov (Clara), Dermot Crombie (Rhgode), Ruari Carroll (Edenderry),
