Former All-Ireland winning Offaly hurling captains Padraig Horan, Martin Hanamy and the county’s first ever GAA hurling All-Star Damien Martin will be the grand marshals of the 2024 Banagher St Patrick’s Day parade.
1998 was a hurling summer like no other. Such was the storm of controversy that swirled around the Clare hurling team in particular, it was estimated their colourful manager Ger Loughnane cost the Irish economy about £25m (€31m) because workers were busy talking about him when they should have been doing their jobs.
Joe, Johnny and Billy Dooley on what drove Offaly’s golden age.
From a Laois point of view: Enda Rowland (Hurling) was the best goalie in Ireland in 2019 and should have got the all star ahead of Brian Hogan. He has it all , great shot stopper , scores points and has a great puck out. If he played for our neighbours in tipp or KK he'd win a good few all stars. Ross Munnelly (Football) should have got an all star in either 2003, 2005 or 2006! Especially in 2006 scored two goals against meath in navan. Was laois's best forward that year in a year laois were unlucky to lose to Mayo in a replay All-ireland 1/4.
