Donie Ryan went over on his ankle on Friday night and was probably going to start if he was fit. The management have had these guys for the past 3 or 4 months so they are the only ones capable of a correct judgement.
Anton is listed as a sub because he is part of the panel and wont be togging out.
As for Shane Nally, it was nip and tuck with him and Shiel for the goals, nothing between them.
Noel Andrew is not in great form therefore his place goes to someone who has been playing well recently.
Offaly are a great price at 11/4 (almost 3/1)
I wasn't trying to question the management at all - I was just surprised since I thought that Donie was fit, that's all.
I wouldn't argue with the team at all but there's no way I could have 11/4 as value. I think this team is huge outsiders, 5/1 at least imo. If I wasn't betting against Offaly I'd be piling into the even money double with Lads, Meath and Westmeath both to win.
Wexford are a huge price as well, but that's neither here nor there.
Kevin Egan. Signed out of respect for players and all involved with Offaly.
and no i can say from experience and knowledge of that age group thats a very good offaly team and the best in the county with exception from sullivan
