Prospects – Kinnitty have been drawn in a very tough group, a real dogfight of one and they are the rank outsiders. A very proud club who have contributed so much to Offaly hurling, Kinnitty's only realistic aim this year is to retain senior status. Their prospects of avoiding the relegation play off is not helped by the fact that a defeat to them could prove fatal to the knockout prospects of the other teams. They could very well take a big scalp but at the moment, they are favourites for the relegation play off and staying up will represent a successful campaign for them.
