Offaly team confirmed for opening Leinster SHC tie
Offaly senior hurling manager, Johnny Kelly, has named his team for the opening Leinster senior hurling championship fixture with Dublin.
The Faithful County travel to Parnell Park for this Saturday's evening fixture (throw in, 6pm) fresh from a National League campaign at the end of which they gained promotion to Division 1A.
Despite suffering defeat to Waterford in the Division 1B final, Offaly will be brimming with confidence as they aim to progress from their provincial pursuits and advance to the All-Ireland series later in the championship season.
