Draws For Offaly GAA Championships For 2010

Draws For Offaly GAA Championships For 2010

The draws for all adult hurling and football championships in Offaly for 2010 took place at a County Board meeting in the Tullamore Court Hotel on Tuesday.

All the competitions except U-21 Hurling and the O’Connor Cup Senior Hurling Competition will be held on a league basis.

Where there are two groups, four teams from each will advance to the quarter-finals, which is a change to last year. Some teams were seeded, depending on their results from 2009. (E.G. in senior football, the two finalists were placed in different groups, as were the semi-finalists and quarter-finalists).

At the meeting, County Board Chairman Pat Teehan, thanked Philip O’Brien from the Tullamore Court Hotel and Aidan Bracken of Aidan Bracken Building Design for their continued sponsorship of the Offaly GAA Championships.

(The U-21 Football Championship draw had been held).
