ANOTHER defeat but another very encouraging evening for Offaly as they competed very well with Kilkenny in the Leinster Minor Hurling Championship semi-final in Nowlan Park on Wednesday evening.
Leinster Minor Hurling Championship semi-final
Kilkenny 2-23
Offaly 1-16
It was a very brave performance by Offaly and they were in the hunt well inside the last ten minutes. Offaly had the gap back to a point, 1-13 to 1-12 with twenty minutes left and were able to dream of a famous and sensational win. It didn't happen as Kilkenny got away from them in the closing quarter for an ultimately comfortable win.
