Offaly GAA chairperson Michael Duignan has said the Faithful County are devastated over the sudden death of their senior football manager Liam Kearns at the age of 61.

Kearns, who previously managed Limerick, Laois and Tipperary, took on the Offaly role last summer having instantly made an impression on Duignan and the football committee.
