Offaly retain all six county managers
January 20, 2021
At the Offaly County Board meeting all intercounty management positions were confirmed.
Last night s meeting included a number of issues carried over from the County Convention which took place in December.
Last month it was announced that Michael Fennelly would continue as senior hurling manager for a second year while John Maughan would be in the football hot seat for a third year.
A number of the Faithful County’s underage teams were still playing at the time of the Convention with minor footballers and hurlers going on to qualify for a place in their respective Leinster finals, which have since been postponed due to Covid-19 restrictions.

DELIGHTED with Offaly s performance in their first round win over Laois in the Leinster Minor Hurling Championship, manager Leo O Connor is under no illusions about the task that awaits them against Kildare in this Sunday s quarter-final in Newbridge.
The former Limerick hurler was quick to point out that Kildare beat Offaly in last year s championship, eliminating them on a 1-23 to 1-20 score in a game that went to extra time and he expects another very touch challenge.
A former Limerick minor and U-21 hurling manager, O Connor was very happy with the way Offaly performed in their first round win over Laois and was disappointed that new Covid-19 restrictions saw the championship put on hold until now.
