OFFALY have received a home draw in the semi-finals of the Leinster Minor Football Championship.
Their reward for their great 4-11 to 2-14 quarter-final win over Meath on Thursday evening is a clash with Kildare in O'Connor Park, Tullamore next Wednesday evening.
The home venue is a real bonus for Offaly, who will be underdogs but are improving with every game and their confidence will be on a high after the character they showed to beat Meath.

Repeat pairings were to be avoided if possible in the semi-finals but with both Offaly and Louth winning their quarter-finals, a draw was necessary.
