Leinster U-20 HC QF FT: Offaly 3-20, Galway 2-17. A huge win for Offaly. Great scenes of excitement here on a drama packed day. Offaly were the better team and got late scores to get across the line. Adam Screeney and Brecon Kavanagh got worrying injuries but are hopefully okay

The death has taken place of Fr Tom Scully, manager of the Offaly team beaten by Kerry in the 1969 All Ireland SFC final. While a clerical appointment to South Africa ended his involvement , his influence on the 1971/'72 All Ireland champions was immense. He also made a 1/2

Joe McDonagh Cup FT: Offaly 2-21, Kildare 3-11. A very convincing win by Offaly who controlled the game from start to finish. It puts a Joe McDonagh Cup final place firmly in their sights. Kildare's decline since the league is shocking but Offaly are moving in the right direction

Leinster SFC FT: Offaly 1-11, Meath 0-10. A fantastic win for Offaly sends a shell shocked Meath into the Tailteann Cup. They were superb in the 2nd half and displayed tremendous character in 2nd half when they were running on empty and out on their feet

Offaly GAA chairman Michael Duignan will run for Central Council delegate at Convention in December. Paddy Scales has to step down. He will also seek a 5th and final year as chairman. It is the start of a road that could lead anywhere for him, though he has to be elected 1st!!!

Glenisk have extended their sponsorship of Offaly GAA by securing naming rights for O Connor Park. They replace Bord na Mona who surprisingly availed of an opt out clause 2 years ago. In accordance with the revised lease agreement, Tullamore GAA have to approve but should do so.

Walsh Cup SH FT: Offaly 2-21, Laois 1-23. A sensational come from behind win for Offaly, who trailed by eight points at half time. They were infinitely better in the 2nd half as they ran in a spate of clubs and completely dominated Laois.
