Cormac Egan Likely To Miss Majority Of Season

Friday, 8 April 2022 13:56

It'll be a major blow to Offaly at both senior and U-20 level.

One of the brightest prospects in the Offaly football ranks is set to miss the championship season. 

Declan Kelly confirmed that Cormac Egan has had a scan on a persistent hamstring injury and it has confirmed the end of his inter-county campaign. 

The Tullamore forward featured in three league games for John Maughan's senior side and was set to be a feature of the faithful's bid to retain the All-Ireland title. 

The 19-year-old needs an operation to address the issue, which will require a significant recovery period. 

U-20 boss Declan Kelly admits it's a big blow: 

In fairness to Cormac, he's very disappointed obviously but he's a young guy and has another year at U-20 next season. 

He needs to get himself right, have his operation, do the work and hopefully be back at the end of the summer for Tullamore you'd expect. 

Egan had a busy season last year featuring for Offaly at minor level in both football and hurling as wells as a U-20 campaign in both codes and minor, U-20 and senior duty with his club. 

Factoring in a step up to senior strength and conditioning programmes straight off the back of that, it's not unreasonable to think the break might do his body the world of good.
