Fahey lands Offaly football job

Roscommon man Gerry Fahey has been entrusted with the job of leading Offaly football out of its dark spell and into the light after being appointed as the county's new senior manager.

The NUIG Sigerson Cup winning boss was appointed as Paul O'Kelly's successor at a county board meeting on Thursday night and is looking forward to the job despite O'Kelly's controversial sacking.
