Is it the recent league match you're asking about? Don't know the score, but Offaly won.

You'd wonder what the best option would be on Sunday. Get beat and enter qualifiers in Rd 1 or win and get hammered away to Dublin and enter the qualifiers in Rd 1.

Thanks for the answers. Was looking it up for my parents who were convinced the match was played last Saturday.

By the way, could anyone point me in the direction of a guide to how the football and hurling championships now work? I left Ireland in the early days of the introduction of the 'back door' system and am now completely lost as to how things work.

In football the provincial championships largely the same. 4 of them with 4 winners going into the All Ireland QF.
All teams knocked out of their provincial championships before the semi enter the qualifiers in Round 1. So prelim and QF losers. (Except New York)
All teams knocked out of the provincial championship at the semis enter the qualifiers in Rd 2 and get drawn against the winners of Rd 1.
Rd 3 are the Rd 2 winners drawn against each other.
The 4 Rd 3 winners then get drawn against 4 provincial final losers in Rd 4. The 4 winners of Rd 4 get drawn against the 4 provincial champions in the All Ireland QF and you can work it from there.

Both teams will (with near certainty) be entering the qualifiers at Rd 1 stage anyway, so I suppose you might as well try and win this one and get that extra game, otherwise it's a long long wait for the qualifiers to start. If you could win this one and then give Dublin some sort of a game that would at least give you something to build on, whereas the losers of this are probably going nowhere as far as this year's championship is concerned. You'll have lads p1ssing off to the US and whatnot, and by the time the qualifiers come around any sort of momentum you had is well gone.

this will be alot closer than in croke park 3 weeks ago, but if offaly can get enough ball into their forward line i think a 4 or 5 point win for offaly will be the result.
