Tullamore and Rhode set up yet another clash in this year’s Offaly senior football final, their third in succession or fourth if last year’s replay is counted, following contrasting wins in semi-final clashes at O’Connor Park over the weekend.

County champions Tullamore were comfortable throughout their 1-14 to 0-10 win over Edenderry yesterday, despite leaving it until the closing minutes to clinch the win through a Diarmuid Egan goal.
