OFFALY AND WESTMEATH booked place in the semi-finals of the O’Byrne Cup tonight as the Midland neighbours claimed quarter-final victories.
Offaly had four points to spare over Meath in Gracefield, while Westmeath defeated Louth by six points at St Loman’s in Mullingar.
Jordan Hayes and Cormac Egan netted for the Faithful in their success, while first-half goals from Brian Guerin and Brandon Kelly paved the way for Westmeath’s triumph.
Offaly will now play Westmeath on Saturday at the semi-final stage, while the other O’Byrne Cup semi-final sees Kildare play Dublin with fixture details to be confirmed for both games tomorrow.
