Displaying terrific, heart warming character, Offaly rallied powerfully in injury time to snatch an against the odds win over a shell shocked Dublin in a thrilling National Hurling League shootout in Croke Park on Saturday evening.
It was a hugely significant win for Offaly, back in the top flight after what seemed a very long absence. Having drawn with Carlow and beaten Laois and Antrim in the opening three rounds, we knew Offaly were going well but this was a major test for them. It was their first outing against a top tier team and they showed real guts to get the result.
