The wind picked up in Carlow's favour in the second half and they soon had Offaly on the ropes. From here on, Carlow were the better side and Offaly found they had nothing in the tank. Offaly responded well and got their noses in front, 0-07 to 0-06 after 23 minutes – Cahill got three of them, two from frees and goalie Stephen Corcoran fired over a huge free. Martin Kavanagh levelled it up for Carlow but Offaly got two clear on two occaions before the half time whistle. While the result was a shock, it was not a big surprise to those who have followed Offaly throughout the Joe McDonagh Cup campaign. Carlow settled quicker and led by 0-03 to 0-01 after five minutes.
