Shane Lowry admits he would have been tempted to wear an Offaly jersey down the 18th in his final round at the Irish Open had the Offaly minors hung on to win the minor All-Ireland hurling title.
Lowry got the heads up as he got to the 17th tee at Mount Juliet that his Faithful minors were ahead in the final that was taking place just 20 minutes up the road in Nowlan Park.
But there was heartbreak for Offaly when Tipp scored the winning goal four minutes into injury time, overturning a two-point deficit with time almost up.
