Whelahan: Future out of my hands

After exiting the hurling championship with a 20-point reversal, Offaly manager Brian Whelahan insisted he wants to remain in charge for another year, but conceded it will be down to the Offaly County Board to make that call.

“Of course (I want to stay), I’m an Offaly man. But at the end of the day that’s not for me to decide,” said Whelahan.

“It’s all about Offaly hurling, at the end of the day. Taking the next step and putting in place the proper structures and I think this year was the start of it.
