ATHY (Kildare) v EDENDERRY (Offaly)
(Newbridge, Tomorrow 2.30)
AN intriguing clash because this is new terrain for both sets of players -- Athy are competing in Leinster for the first time in 24 years, while Edenderry's up-and-coming crew, managed by one-time wizard of the Offaly attack, Peter Brady, are bridging a 10-year gap.
This could go either way but Athy, playing at home, look the marginally better bet.
ODDS: Athy 8/15, Draw 7/1, Edenderry 21/20
VERDICT: Athy
