But what followed was a long, difficult descent.Michael Foley and Ciaran O’Hara trace how Offaly slipped from the summit, through years of struggle and soul-searching, down to life in the Christy Ring and Joe McDonagh Cups. This final chapter explores what went wrong, what endured, and how persistence, pride and people ultimately powered Offaly’s return to senior hurling.A story of rise, fall, and renewal — and a fitting conclusion to a remarkable hurling journey.For those who want more Gaelic Games History, you can join our Cairde Club for less than the price of a match programme for month - where you'll get exclusive episodes, bonus content, ad free and early release versions of the main podcast.
