LAST Saturday morning at the Faithful Fields, the 2024 Offaly development squads were launched. Or to put it more accurately, the Faithful future was launched.

Across U14, U15, and U16 in the two codes, 241 youngsters were identified and invited to join the development squad system. All bar three took up the invite. Offaly is a rising tide and every youngster is looking for a seat on the boat.
