Midlands 103's Brian Gavin assesses where the Faithful County went wrong in 2023.
Offaly will have to cut their cloth to their measure heading in to 2024.
Midlands 103 commentator Brian Gavin is reflecting on the year that was for Offaly Football.
The Faithful County endured the shock passing of their manager Liam Kearns in March.
Despite the trauma of the loss, Offaly managed to perform in the Leinster Championship, making a provincial semi-final for the first time since 2007.
Mickey Harte's Louth beat Martin Murphy's charges in extra time in Croke Park, and Offaly's Tailteann Cup campaign was a disappointment that ended with their worst performance of the season.
Brian Gavin believes the county's new manager will have to pick and choose his targets next year.
He says after a long and testing season, the Tailteann Cup was a step too far:
