'It would be a shame if we left without that All-Ireland'By Kevin EganIt’s not hard to see why Offaly GAA went looking for Leo O’Connor to be part of the county’s hurling revival. Then in 2013 we were beaten in an All-Ireland semi-final, 2014 beaten in an All-Ireland final, 2015 beaten in a quarter-final, 2016 reach an All-Ireland minor final,” he said at last Sunday’s media event in the Faithful Fields. It’s going back to the tradition of Offaly hurling from the early 1980s and continuing on to the 1990s. We have beaten a Clare team in a semi-final, but we haven’t beaten any Munster team in a final. It’d be a shame if we left without that All-Ireland,” he added.
