	Gaelic Athletic Association - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The GAA is sometimes accused of being a sectarian organisation, almost always by unionist politicians in Northern Ireland.
		The nationalism of the GAA made its members and clubhouses particular targets for loyalist terrorists during the Troubles and up to the present-day.
		On 16 April 2005 the GAA's congress voted to suspend its Rule 42 ban on "foreign games" to enable the Football Association of Ireland and the Irish Rugby Football Union to play their international fixures at Croke Park while the Lansdowne Roadstadium is being rebuilt.

		Offaly selector Gerry Cooney admitted that the Faithful county were not at their best during Sunday’s win over Westmeath, but pointed to the fact that the result went the right way.
		A photographer at the Leinster MFC clash between Wicklow and Offaly alleged that a Garden County player jabbed him with a plastic bottle in the face during the course of the second half of the match.

	Offaly GAA - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Offaly County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association (Irish: Cumann Luthchleas Gael Coiste Uíbh Fhailí) or Offaly GAA is one of the 32 county boards of the GAA in Ireland, and is responsible for Gaelic Games in County Offaly.
		Separate county boards are also responsible for the Offaly inter-county football, hurling, camogie and ladies football teams.
		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.

		Offaly had led from the time Mark Daly opened the scoring with a goal in the 10th minute and were by far the better side for most of the game leading by six points at half time.
		Offaly played strong committed football from the throw-in and while both sides missed early chance, it was a sweeping move that ended with Neville Coughlan pass to Mark Daly and the center forward tucked it away in the corner of the net.
		Offaly rallied and substitute John Reynolds kicked a fine point and Neville Coughlan added another to give them a five-point lead after 21 minutes and a semi final place was calling.

		Offaly made all the advances in the opening stages of the game and were certainly quickest off the blocks with everyone having barely set their stopwatches when Brian Nolan sent over the opening point after 30 seconds which was quickly followed up with a Derek Molloy point from the puckout for the homeside.
		Offaly also shot wide on two occasions before Kevin Finlay cleanly won the ball at midfield for Laois sending a speculative shot into the square which was cleared by Devon Beale but Laois won back possession and Eoin Fitzpatrick sent over the first Laois point after seven and a half minutes.
		Offaly had yet to get the ball past the midfield mark and Noel Delaney kept up the Laois momentum with a long range point before an excellent score from Matthew Whelan on the run and Eoin Fitzpatrick, again from play left just four points between the sides 1-9 to 0-8.

		As noted in the Introduction to Offaly, the Rosse women were no slouches when it came to scientific expansion either, and their descendents, the present day Earls, still live in Birr Castle.
		The castle is a private home, and is rarely open to visitors, but the superb grounds, containing some flowers not to be found anywhere else in the world, are open all year round, and you can see the tallest box hedges in the world here too, measuring in at about 35 feet high.
		Offaly has produced more scientific minds than just the Rosses; George Johnston Stoney was the first man to propose the existence of electrons, and John Joly developed radiotherapy, now a vital part of the treatment of cancer.

	RTÉ.ie Sport - GAA: Lucky Offaly snatch draw
		By that stage Offaly were pushing hard for parity and Donnie Ryan came up trumps to snatch a late goal and send the tie to a July 16th replay.
		Neither sets of forwards were being given much leeway nor taking advantage when space and time were on their sides but possession being nine tenths of the law Kildare moved into a 10 points to 5 lead with 20 minutes remaining.
		Then Offaly made another of their renowned comebacks and with Vinny Claffey coming more and more into the play moved to within three as time ebbed away.

		Kilkenny's full-forward line had the measure of their men and when Offaly did get the ball into the Cats' half, invariably half-back stars Philip Larkin and Eamonn Kennedy were returning the sliothar with interest.
		Five of Offaly's seven first half points came from Johnny Dooley frees with their only real goal chance a ground stroke from Michael Duignan which went narrowly wide in the 18th minute.
		Offaly needed early goals in the second half but instead it was Kilkenny who rattled the net once in the 49th minute after somewhat of a lull in the proceedings.

		During his time with the Offaly County Board, both the county's footballers and hurlers enjoyed much success, John was Secretary of the County when Offaly won their first All-Irelands in football (1971) and hurling (1981).

		The current GAA President, Sean McCague said, "John Dowling was a truly great servant of the GAA".

		Offaly is known as the Faithful County, an out of date reference to its old status under British rule as King's County.
		Offaly have gone on to be one of hurling's powers since that breakthrough, winning 4 All-Irelands in the 80's and 90's.
		Although Offaly's footballers have won 3 All-Ireland titles through the century (an admirable achievement for such a small county), the faithfulness of the supporters has been called into play for them too.

		With Offaly fielding a very strong side also, the result was an entertaining draw from which both sides will have picked some valuable lessons.
		Offaly had the benefit of the very strong breeze in the first half and goals from Dylan Hayden and Gary Hannify helped them to a 2-8 to 0-6 interval lead.
		It was a scoreline that flattered Offaly slightly as the Waterford forwards had almost as many scoring opportunities despite playing into the breeze.

		Offaly experienced it all in Croke Park last Sunday and should be facing Kildare in the Leinster Championship semi-final - but the statistics don’t lie.
		When the draw for this group was made, a lot of observers would have said that this game would determine the likely winner of this group, and establish a clear front-runner in the race to dethrone Rhode as county champions.
		The draw is open to the public and the County Board invites all supporters and friends of Offaly GAA to attend.

		New Offaly football manager Kevin Kilmurray is eagerly looking forward to Sunday’s massive National Football League opener against Westmeath at O’Connor Park.
		But Offaly, who are back in Division 1 after a two-year absence, would relish the chance to get one over on their neighbours, especially after last year’s controversial championship defeat in Croke Park.
		Offaly warmed up for Sunday’s game with an impressive victory over Armagh last weekend but Kilmurray isn’t reading too much into it.

		He was joined three minutes later by Pascal Kellaghan of Offaly and towards the end of the game both were to find themselves receiving a second yellow card and ultimately a red card.
		Pascal Kellaghan then suffered the same fate for Offaly before a late free for Offaly in injury-time was sent over the bar for Offaly and in the end just two points separated the sides and Laois qualified to meet Kilkenny in the Quarter-Final after they disposed of Athlone IT.

		All Gaelic games are governed by the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA), with the exception of Ladies´ Gaelic Football, which is governed by a separate organisation.
		The GAA is organised on an all-Ireland basis with all 32 counties competing; traditionally, counties first compete within their province, in the provincial championships, and the winners then compete in the All-Ireland senior hurling or football championships.
		The headquarters of the GAA (and the main stadium) is located at the 83,000 capacity Croke Park in north Dublin.

		Tom’s brother Seamus continued the family involvement in the GAA as a member of the Club Committee in the 1960’s and Seamus’s sons and grandchildren continue to proudly carry on the Fitzpatrick GAA tradition today through their involvement on and off the field with our club.
		The GAA however says that it has absolutely no objection to the Lower Pitch, which they say is the traditional home of Castlewellan Town FC, being developed to the highest possible standards.
		But the GAA claims that as a whole that it has been made to face the prospect of the potential loss of Council grounds simply because they are adept at developing their own pitches.
