Offaly 3-15 to Carlow's 2-7 i think, there was no score board keeping the score and no umpires either thats what Tony Carroll the ref said it was.
offaly were missing a few tonight it was hard to know some of them with the head gear on.

The best in the backs was Barry Harding and Chris Guinan untill he pulled a hamstring and full back Sean Coughlan in midfield Gary Connelly and Wynne done well
up front Brian Longeran and Thomas Carroll done most of the scoring with a lot of subs coming in for offaly during the game.

Last word goes to Thomas Carroll he was outstanding to night scored about 1-5 i think but he was the best player on the field to night offaly have a fine young hurler
on their hands in Carroll if they bring him on right and Carroll himself keeps at it he has it to be a top forward for offaly for year's to come.

Carlow had some fine players as well their centre field and half back line were the best lines on the field for them.

Offaly hadn't got Daniel Currams , Eanna Murphy, Derek Morkan ,James mulrooney, the match was on five minutes when i got in so didn't know
some of the players that were playing. don't think any of the lads hurling saturday night again laois played i could be wrong on that
