Teehan: We owe Joe

OFFALY chairman Pat Teehan said the county board owes a “debt of gratitude” to Joe Dooley after he stepped down from his position as senior hurling manager on Tuesday.

Teehan was unequivocal in his praise of the Seir Kieran man who resigned as Faithful boss after four years in charge following Saturday’s narrow second round All-Ireland qualifier defeat to Cork.

“Joe Dooley, Brendan Kelly and Pat McLoughney have all given a lifetime of service to Offaly GAA,” said Teehan.
