Offaly celebrated a momentous occasion in O'Connor Park on Sunday in the Leinster football championship. The county had gone nine years since their last championship win, and put Longford to the sword in the first round this year with a huge score of 2-21 to 2-13:
After their 1st @gaaleinster SFC win since 2007, @Offaly_GAA will meet @westmeath_gaa in the Quarter-Finals. #leinster16

Naturally, Offaly's most famous son who is currently in contention in golf's unofficial fifth major at Sawgrass in Florida was plugged into events at O'Connor Park and was happier than most:

Lowry himself has started well on the final day, getting himself closer to Jason Day who is the runaway leader. The Clara golfer birdied three of his opening six holes after a damaging day on Saturday.
