Dooley 'proud of the lads' as he hangs up Offaly reins

Offaly senior hurling manager Joe Dooley has said he is proud of the Offaly senior team, as he steps down from his post.

Dooley, who cited personal and professional reasons for his decision, had an initial three-year term at the helm and was reappointed last October for another season after a promising 2010 campaign.
