Offaly supporters will breath a sigh of relief that their star man Ciaran McManus looks set to play in Sunday's Leinster SFC first round clash with Westmeath.

The Tubber clubman sustained an ankle injury in a challenge match last Wednesday against Clare. But with no ligament damage and the initial swelling gone away, McManus has been listed in the Offaly side for their championship opener at Croke Park.
