Offaly's Ciarán Cleary looking to get away from Tipperary's Craig Morgan and Johnny Ryan during the Allianz Hurling League Division 1A fixture in Tullamore last Sunday. Tipp prove too strong but scoreline harsh on OffalyBy Kevin EganTwo weekends in, Offaly’s wait for a first league win in both codes continues and while it might sound harsh, it's probably fair to say that there’s no obvious end to that wait in sight. Either way, playing time was shared around and those with the most demands on their energy were treated with respect for their other sporting goals. In short, it wasn’t as bleak as the scoreboard suggested (Tipperary 5-24 Offaly 1-18). Nonetheless, the experience of playing the last two games will stand to this group, and Offaly should also be further on in summer for having run this gauntlet.
