Twitter reacts to Offaly's brilliant All-Ireland U-20 Final win!
Offaly recorded a brilliant win in the All-Ireland U-20 Football Final today defeating Roscommon by 1-14 to 1-11.
Offaly led by seven points with ten minutes to go but had to hold off a spirited Roscommon fightback to seal the win.

What a win @Offaly_GAA Mother from River Street in Clara. I spent all my summers in Tullamore & Clara through the 80’s and 90’s witnessing many a miraculous day in Croke Park, ‘80 ‘81 ‘82 ‘85, ‘94, ‘98 and many more. This one means as much. Green shoots for the faithful #offaly https://t.co/xtmfoxtY0W
