Offaly and Galway in Ballinasloe in 2022
THE fixture has been announced for Offaly senior hurlers test with Galway next weekend after they came out on the right side of a toss on Sunday afternoon.
It will take place in Ballinasloe next Sunday with a 2.30pm throw in. Ballinasloe is a convenient venue for Offaly supporters, located just a few miles from Shannonbridge across the county boundary at the Shannon.
They won the toss after their quarter-final against Antrim was cancelled on Sunday afternoon because of a frozen pitch in O'Connor Park, Tullamore.
The games between Galway v Kildare and Westmeath v Kilkenny were also called off for the same reason with Galway and Westmeath winning the toss on Sunday afternoon.
The Offaly v Antrim game was scheduled to take place at 2.00pm in O'Connor Park but the decision to postpone was made before the Antrim team made the long trek south.
With such a tight window before the National Hurling and Football Leagues start on January 24/25, it was agreed that there will be no rescheduled games with new regulations for the O'Byrne and Walsh Cups stipulating that a toss take place to decide cancelled fixtures.
