Cappincur clinch historic first win over Tullamore

Eoin Carroll's point sealed a sensational Offaly SFC win for Cappincur over Tullamore

The Offaly senior football championship kicked off this weekend and while most of the results went along expected lines, Cappincur’s 0-12 to 1-8 victory over Tullamore on Friday night proved the shock of the first round.

Tullamore were as short as 1/8 going into the game but the Cappincur men revelled in the underdog tag and went toe to toe with the Tullamore men before county star Eoin Carroll kicked a winner deep in injury time to earn them their first win over Tullamore at senior level.
