DELIGHTED with Offaly s performance in their first round win over Laois in the Leinster Minor Hurling Championship, manager Leo O Connor is under no illusions about the task that awaits them against Kildare in this Sunday s quarter-final in Newbridge.
The former Limerick hurler was quick to point out that Kildare beat Offaly in last year s championship, eliminating them on a 1-23 to 1-20 score in a game that went to extra time and he expects another very touch challenge.
A former Limerick minor and U-21 hurling manager, O Connor was very happy with the way Offaly performed in their first round win over Laois and was disappointed that new Covid-19 restrictions saw the championship put on hold until now.
