Offaly fail to have U21 decider postponed

Offaly's request to have Wednesday's Leinster U21 hurling final against Kilkenny postponed due to the participation of the Faithful county in the All-Ireland SHC qualifiers this Saturday has fallen on deaf ears.

The Leinster Council's Competitions Control Committee (CCC) decided not to accede to Offaly's request, despite the bulk of the Under-21 panel also playing a key role in the progress of the senior side.
