Hurling League round-up: Offaly in with final chance after beating Wicklow

After Antrim did Offaly a favour by beating Kerry in Tralee, the Faithful County looked after their end of the bargain by cutting through Wicklow with ease in the second half of their clash at Tullamore.

It was a very different story early on when Andy O’Brien led the way for Wicklow as they came from 0-3 to 0-1 behind to lead by 0-8 to 0-4. Thomas Geraghty’s goal edged Offaly in front by half time however and Michael Fennelly’s charges moved through the gears in the second half with Colm Gath, Peter Geraghty, and Jason Sampson raising green flags.
