Limerick forewarned for Offaly test

Offaly manager Eamonn Kelly accepts they have been a bogey team for Limerick in recent years but expects that will count against them in Tullamore on Sunday.

The Tipperary native anticipates Limerick will be forewarned and forearmed as a result of their last two Division 1B games against the Faithful County. Last year, they lost to Offaly in the Gaelic Grounds while they were held to a draw in O’Connor Park the previous season.

“That’s just going to make it more difficult for us,” said Kelly. “Limerick also probably feel they didn’t play to their potential against Kerry the last day so there will be no such things as catching them unawares.
