Fahy takes over in Offaly

GERRY FAHY was appointed manager of the Offaly senior footballers last night. Fahy replaces Paul O’Kelly, who was controversially sacked after eight months at the helm of the Faithful County.

The Athenry-based Garda, earlier this year managed NUI Galway to a three-point victory over UCD in the Datapac Sigerson Final at Páirc Uí Rinn, their first title at the grade in 11 years.

Fahy also has had extensive coaching experience at both club and intercounty level.
