Don’t bury hurling in Offaly, urges McIntyre

McIntyre has called on Brennan to show the necessary leadership on the relegation issue or else risked being accused of speaking ‘hollow words’ over ten years ago when Chairman of the Hurling Development Committee.

Said McIntyre: “I have huge respect for Nickey Brennan and he has always struck me as a hurling man to the core. He made a famous speech back in the mid-nineties where he openly expressed fears about the future of the game, but now the very organisation he is leading is on the brink of burying Offaly hurling.
