Rhode and Tullamore advance to Offaly football final

Holders Ferbane bow out to Tullamore after first ever shootout in Offaly championship

It was an unbelievable weekend in Tullamore as both Offaly senior football semi finals needed extra time - and even penalties in one case - as Rhode and Tullamore progressed to contest the Offaly senior football final in a fortnight.

Yesterday saw the first ever penalty shootout in Offaly championship football as Ferbane and Tullamore couldn’t be separated after 80 minutes of football with the sides deadlocked at 1-14 o 0-17.
