Astonishing really.

How low can Offaly go? We must have reached Rock bottom now.

The Offaly minor football team to play Dublin in the Leinster MFC semi-final on Thursday night has been announced.

The team will line out as follows:

Offaly (MFC v Dublin): Cain Brereton; Aaron Whelan, James Lalor, Clint Horan; Jack Egan, Adam Mahon, Colm Doyle; Cathal Mangan, David Maloney ...

Looks a strong Offaly side on paper. I would imagine that Dunican and McNamee would swap positions when the game starts.

Should win this one. It would be a terrible blow to Offaly football if they didn't.

I believe the Minors defeated Kerry by a point in a Challenge game in Limerick on Sunday.

Seems good on the surface. Was anyone there? Who was playing etc?

Lads, I think this team has the potential to be special. On paper it's as strong a panel as Offaly have had in a long time.

Also they still have arguably the best minor in the county, Patrick Dunican to come back in.

Hopefully Kelleghan will get them going.
