Offaly hurlers lose four players for refixtured tie

Offaly hurling boss Mike McNamara will be without four key players for Saturday's refixtured NHL tie with Wexford.

The game was moved from Sunday to Saturday because of a clash with Ireland's Six Nations rugby decider with England.

That means McNamara will be without dual players Neville Coughlan and Ger Rafferty who will be on U-21 football duty as well as students Brian Carroll and Brendan Murphy.
