Offaly are still waiting for their opening league points.
Offaly joint manager Mickey Harte believes his side showed character in their defeat to Cork on Sunday.
Cork secured their third win of the campaign with a 3-15 to 0-19 victory over the Faithful, leaving Offaly winless after their opening three games.
Colm O'Callaghan scored two first half goals, with Mark Cronin also contributing with 1-4 for the Rebels.
Harry Plunkett impressed with 0-8, while Keith O'Neill also showed well with 0-5.
The result leaves Offaly in danger of relegation back to Division Three.
Harte says his side never threw in the towel:
