O Byrne cup final FT: Longford 1-12 Offaly 0-11. Offaly tried hard and could have won but didn't play that well and scoreline is fair enough. However, the league game in two weeks is infinitely more important and Offaly won't be too worried by this defeat.

Disappointing effort from Offaly today, got into a good position on a couple of occasions and just fell away for no good reason. Also, it just doesn't feel like a normal Offaly vs Longford game if it doesn't involve Anton Sullivan and Diarmuid Masterson skelping each other.

Nice to see Longford win the 1st bit of silverware of 2020.Pleasure to meet @bernardflynn15 again, last time I met him was when Mullinalaghta won Leinster in Tullamore also..Hopefully he'll be back in Tullamore for league clash in 2 weeks #luckycharm pic.twitter.com/1945Nc0NIY
