Kilkenny 1-26 Offaly 1-19
In a thrilling Division 1 Allianz Hurling League clash at UPMC Nowlan Park, Kilkenny staged a remarkable comeback against Offaly, propelled by a storming second-half performance.
Offaly dominated the first half, capitalizing on the wind advantage to take a six-point lead at halftime. However, Kilkenny unleashed an onslaught after the break, led by Eoin Cody’s sensational solo goal in the 48th minute.
This pivotal moment shifted the momentum firmly in Kilkenny’s favor, as they surged ahead to secure a victory that puts them at the top of the league table alongside Clare.
Offaly, buoyed by Eoghan Cahill’s accurate free-taking and strong performances from Charlie Mitchell and Jack Clancy, impressed in the first half but couldn’t withstand Kilkenny’s relentless onslaught in the second.
Despite Offaly’s goalkeeper Mark Troy making some fine saves, Kilkenny’s dynamic attack, led by Cody, Donnelly, and Drennan, proved too much to handle as they sealed the win with a flurry of scores.
