We will have a battle on our hands: Dubs minor boss

The Faithful County have both home advantage and are coming off a comprehensive quarter-final victory over a well-rated Westmeath side.

Offaly are a fine side and they also enjoy home advantage on the night so we know that we will have a battle on our hands," says Cyril.

 We are really looking forward to the game however and although acknowledging the threat of Offaly, it is important that we focus on getting our own house in order.

 The lads have been moving nicely in training and in-house matches and we can take a few positives into the game.

 It's going to be a tight match and we would gladly take a one-point win and move the season on from there," adds Cyril.
