It was a long time coming.
Offaly football fans are celebrating this evening after the county finally ended their Leinster hoodoo against Longford. You had to go all the way back to 2007 to the last time Offaly recorded a football win in the provincial series, and today's 2-21 to 2-13 victory has raised spirits in the Faithful County. Pat Flanagan's side was hugely impressive in the game and it looked to have delighted a lot of Offaly fans after the match. https://twitter.com/Inphosports/status/731888263443714048 Shane Lowry, unfortunately, wasn't able to witness the action in person, but we have no doubt that he was tuning in via Midlands 103. The Clara native is in action at the Players' Championship in Sawgrass, and ahead of the final round, the Offaly man was in high spirits after the eight-point win. https://twitter.com/ShaneLowryGolf/status/731881771969748992?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw Offaly now go forward to face Westmeath in two weeks time, and perhaps Lowry could be in the stands for the game.
