IT is way too early to talk about season defining clashes but the importance of Offaly's Leinster Senior Hurling Championship opener against Dublin in Parnell Park on Saturday can't be understated. It is a huge one for Offaly, a match where they will be targeting a win but where they are definite underdogs – despite a superb victory over the Dubs in the National Hurling League in Croke Park a few weeks ago. That win was absolutely instrumental in Offaly gaining promotion to Division 1A.
