THREE GAMES TO DEFINE OUR YEAR

I CAN see in Offaly what it means to be back training and playing. Players have grown so much in lockdown, doing all the work on their own. We found out who really was interested in wearing the jersey.

Our hurlers travel to Páirc Tailteann today for the opening game in Division 2A and the reality is that Meath are ahead in the rankings, they are a championship tier above us.

Offaly have Carlow and Kerry in the following two weeks. Against Carlow and Kerry, we will be the underdog. There’s three matches right there that will go some way to defining our year.
