Re: u21 match

Couldn't agree more with you, POTH. I would add to it that Offaly, over the next few years, will have to go further along the modern road and pick more midfield / forward players for Championship play who can win the ball or at least contest it 50-50.

Niall Smith was a bright spot. He caught some great balls at midfield.
