Prospects – You can't make any convincing case at the moment for Coolderry extending their lead at the top of the Offaly senior hurling roll of honour but they are past masters at confounding the odds. Long time star Brian Carroll is the manager – he has a huge passion for Coolderry hurling and will leave no stone unturned. The first priority for Coolderry is to beat Tullamore and Seir Kieran and qualify out of the group. They will always be difficult to beat and generally perform. They don't look to have the overall depth in strength to win a title but they are always capable of shocks.
