County delegates hope and expect to finish the year with a balanced book.
Offaly GAA will have taken pause for thought after releasing their latest financial report at a county board meeting this week.
The association is over €500k in the red, up to June 30th.
Much of this deficit has been expected, with the inter-county season preceding money-spinning fundraisers, and lucrative championship fixtures in O'Connor Park.
However, income of €1.38m offset by expenditure at €1.9m, is over €150,000 worse than budgeted for.
Sports Editor with the Tullamore Tribune, Kevin Corrigan says county boards are dealing with bigger and bigger financial responsibility:
