Offaly footballers to strike

THE crisis in Offaly GAA deepened yesterday with the senior football team serving strike notice after a chaotic 24 hours in the county.

Their announcement follows the departures of county football manager Gerry Fahy and hurling counterpart Mike McNamara.

Despite being reappointed at last week’s county board meeting by a single vote (27 to 26), Fahy and his management team felt that they did not enjoy the full support of the county board and decided to resign.
