Watch Offaly v Dublin LIVE in the Leinster U20 hurling championship

Offaly host Dublin this afternoon in the Leinster U20 hurling championship at St. Brendan's Park in Birr.

And the home side will be hoping to repeat the achievement of last summer as the Faithful county shocked the Dubs to knock them out of the Championship at Parnell Park.

On front of a vocal travelling support, the visitors took the clash to extra-time, and had enough to hold on for a momentous 1-29 to 2-25 over theDubs.

The dramatic win came just 11 days after the county's senior side were relegated to the Christy Ring Cup.

However, the Dubs are heavy favourites for this one and manager Paul O'Brien has made two changes to the team that beat Antrim back in October before Covid-19 restrictions postponed the Championship.

And both changes come in defence as Brian Sheehy and Iain Ó hEithir come into the starting XV.

Andrew Dunphy will captain the Boys in Blue for the clash in Birr, which will be played behind closed doors due to Covid-19 restrictions.

The game is not live on TV, but TG4 Sport are streaming the game live, and you can watch it all above.

Throw-in is at 12 pm.
