Power expects to play Offaly after seven-month lay-off

Kilkenny forward Richie Power is confident he will play some part in his county's Allianz National Hurling League Division 1 game against Offaly on Sunday, April 17, after a seven-month absence from the inter-county scene.

The All Star full forward has not played an inter-county game since he suffered a hip injury during the All-Ireland final defeat to Tipperary last September.
