Kelly's first competitive outing with the county's senior team takes place this weekend.

Offaly's new manager believes any team can get promoted, and any team can get relegated from Division Three of the National Football League this year.

Declan Kelly leads his players into their first competitive action of the year against Westmeath in Glenisk O'Connor Park this weekend.
