Offaly: The glory years

THE 1970s, 80s, and 90s were a glorious era for Offaly hurling and football.

They won 11 All-Ireland titles during that period and played in 21 finals, including replays.

It has been very different this decade, with only the seniors hurlers reaching an All-Ireland final in 2000. And they were beaten by 13 points by Kilkenny.
