Offaly Manager Voices Concern Over Performance Level After Relegation Escape

Monday, 25 March 2024 at 14:54

Offaly return to action in the Leinster Championship against Laois next month.

Declan Kelly isn't holding back in his criticism of the Offaly footballers after the Faithful County emerged from their tussle with Limerick with their Division Three status intact.

A difficult campaign could have reached disastrous proportions on Sunday if Offaly lost to Limerick and Antrim were beaten by Wicklow in Corrigan Park.

Ultimately, a poor performance and a one point win in Tullamore were academic after Antrim emerged as three point winners over Wicklow.

The final score was 1-10 to 0-12.

Kelly says with the exception of just one player, Cormac Egan, the plan wasn't being followed.

He talks to Midlands 103's Brian Gavin about a difficult day in O'Connor Park:
