WHO:Offaly
WHAT: Cadbury's Leinster Under 21 Semi Final
WHERE: Pairc Tailteann Navan
WHEN: 7:30 tonight


In fairness to this talented squad of Louth Under 21's this season they have overcome every task they've faced.


-A trip no one wants to take to Kilkenny,
-Putting up an emphatic scoreline,
-Taking the falk for doing so

-Then beating a fancied Longford side with pedigree
-with 14 men for majority of the game

The side has grown through the Incrementally tougher dilemma's they have faced and will get tougher in tonights semi final against Offaly.

Offaly have scalped Meath and Kildare already and possess some nippy forwards actually both sides do which will make it a lively open encounter.

Like all semi finals it is not about performance just getting over the line.....i think the strength in our panel highlights the talent is there and with our forwards we can cause them enough problems to prevail,

here's hoping.

Things to expect: A boisterous set of supporters from both counties starved of success desperate for a win, a possible rematch of the first round of the minor championship 2009 between the same teams dublin and Louth in the Final. A big game from eoin O'Connor after getting sent off against Longford the last round.
