'It’s one of the biggest games in the history of Offaly hurling'

Former Offaly star Johnny Dooley has described their Division 1B relegation play-off with Carlow on Sunday as one of the most important games “in the history of Offaly hurling”.

Defeat will mean not just relegation but missing out on the new Division 1 format next season and would represent a double whammy for Offaly, after they dropped from the Liam MacCarthy Cup last year.
