Tipp win sends Offaly down

Tipperary, already relegated from Division 3, took Offaly with them yesterday as Peter Creedon’s first game in charge of the Premier County produced a deserved three-point win.

Offaly’s players knew relegation rivals Cavan were losing to Antrim and victory for the Faithful County would have saved their skins.

But this was a desperately disappointing performance from a poor Offaly team as their six starting forwards managed just a single point from play between them, scored by Michael Brazil in the second half.
