McGee bids to heal Offaly rift

The Offaly county board has confirmed it will meet with its striking footballers if instructed to do so by mediator Eugune McGee.

The players met over the weekend and have agreed to deal with McGee, a former Offaly boss, to resolve the crisis.

The players handed over a 17-point list of demands to the county board and the board's response to the list was given to McGee yesterday.

Meanwhile, the search for a new hurling manager for the Faithful County is set to begin in earnest this week.
