There’s a wonderful picture from last weekend’s Paddy Fenning Walk in Tullamore of Offaly stalwarts Martin Furlong, Seamus Darby, and Sean Lowry sharing a joke with U20 winner Cormac Egan.

The fundraising walk for the Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association celebrated the 50th anniversary of Offaly’s maiden All-Ireland senior football final win in 1971.
