New Offaly chairman Michael Duignan said he wants to unite Offaly GAA again after his election to the role at last night’s county convention in O’Connor Park. Another Duignan supporter Colm Cummins was unsuccessful in his bid to be vice chairperson, with James Murphy edging a tight vote by 70-68. Duignan won two All-Ireland hurling titles with the county in his time and insisted he wants to work with all stakeholders in the county and club scene. “I’m very humbled and honoured to be elected as chairman of Offaly GAA,” said Duignan, who retired from the playing fields in 2001. I just now want to unite Offaly GAA after this challenging campaign.
