Offaly hurlers declare support for their striking colleagues

OFFALY’s senior hurlers have declared their support for the county’s footballers, who went on strike in mid-September.

Both squads are to meet representatives of the Offaly county board in the near future to discuss their grievances.

The footballers took the drastic step of withdrawing their services following the controversial resignation of manager Gerry Fahy as a result of a lack of support from the county board.
