Offaly footballers got their season off to the perfect start.
Offaly Joint Manager Declan kelly insists his side were in a positive mood going into last weekend's opening Allianz Football League Division three win over Sligo.
The Faithful County endured a negative 2024 that ended in a number of poor Tailteann Cup performances.
Kelly and Mickey Harte's charges produced a strong second half to beat Sligo on a scoreline of 1-17 to 13 points.
Kelly says his players had a good build up to their league opener:
