Hurling Fans React To Dark Day For Offaly Hurling

Hurling Fans React To Dark Day For Offaly Hurling

From the heights of Liam McCarthy glory just over 20 years ago, Offaly will play their hurling in the Christy Ring cup next year.

After disappointing in the top division last year, Offaly arrived into Joe McDonagh company in 2019 and still failed to win a single game. Today in Tralee represented their final chance of redemption. There has been some dark days in Offaly hurling in recent times, but this must represent the darkest one of all.

The road back is a lonely one, just as the journey back to the Midlands will be tonight, and it will be one where they will ponder just how exactly they got themselves into this position.

The mood on social media was naturally glum, with fans and neutrals watching from on what was a vertiginous fall from grace. The question now is whether or not the county can emerge from the pack in the Christy Ring competition. That, it bears repeating, is far from a guarantee.

It's worth remembering that many felt the Faithful County would bounce straight back up to the Liam McCarthy cup after last year's relegation. 12 months on, they're moving - albeit in the wrong direction.
