Hurling

After a scheme developed by the Gaelic Athletic Association in the 1970s to encourage the playing of hurling in non-traditional counties, Offaly was one of the first teams to benefit from such a scheme. As a result the county won six Leinster titles in the 1980s, as well as their first All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship in 1981.

The county has since gone on to win three other All-Irelands. Perhaps Offaly's most famous win came in the All-Ireland Final of 1994 in what has come to be remembered as the "five minute final." Limerick looked set to win their first All-Ireland title since 1973 until Offaly staged one of the greatest comebacks of all time, scoring two goals and most of their points in the last few minutes. They defeated Limerick by 3-16 to 2-13. // History Gaelic football Hurling External links Limerick on Hoganstand. ...

Gaelic football

Perhaps the most famous moment in Gaelic football history came in the 1982 All-Ireland Final when Offaly played Kerry. The match was a repeat of the previous year's, however, not only that but a win for Kerry would give them an unprecedented fifth All-Ireland Final victory in a row. Kerry were winning by two points with two minutes to go when Séamus Darby came on as a substitute and scored one of the most famous goals in Gaelic football of all time. However,many people argue that a Kerry defender was pushed in the back before the ball dropped into the square and that the goal should have been disallowed. Kerry fumbled the counter attack which allowed Offaly to win by one single point with a score of 1-15 to 0-17. However,Offaly have not had a lot to cheer about since that day with only a single Leinster title between the years 1982 and 2006.
