Congrads to the Blues and well deserved in a terrific final. Cathal Daly gave a exibition at centre back and his reading of the game was a joy to behold,Gearoid o'Grady's 1.6 from play was the highlight but a few Blues supporters were telling me in Spollens pub afterwards that he will be playing for Buccaneers for the winter and won't be available for County selection for the league at least[ maybe some of the townies on this site might confirm this if its true.]
I'm looking forward to seeing how our new champions get on in the Leinster championship with a sticky first round opener in Dr Cullen Park. Finally I have a feeling Shane Cunningham could possibly be an answer to our Offaly midfield problem, he's big and strong and his fielding especially in the first half yesterday was superb, definitely worth a try in the O'Byrne cup to see how he would get on.
