Sadly the traditional Offaly second half fade out arrived again to make the scoreboard look ugly.
Offaly hurling sides need to cope better with setbacks.
A major bugbear of mine is that in this decade Offaly team seems to completely go out of games and concede a string of easy scores once they fall more than 5 or 6 points behind.
So what's going on in Offaly? Is it the golf or too much suburban executive style housing? In the days of Pat Carroll and Padraig Horan or even the Pilntons there was no such thing as a traditional Offaly second half fade out. Or is the county just biding its time lulling everyone into a false sense of security?
