Offaly U20 hurling manager Leo O’Connor was not happy with the ‘cynical hurling’ he saw in Sunday’s final against Cork. He said ‘it leaves a bit of a sour taste’.

“One or two things happened in the first-half, absolutely cynical hurling and that leaves a bit of a sour taste. But look, we were beaten by a better team. Cork physically dominated us in the second-half, that 10 minutes after half-time when they really pushed on. Fair play to them, they were a better team than us today. They showed it on the scoreboard, and that is the way it is.
