Tony Carroll was indeed a panellist, as wre a young Adrian Cahill and Brian Whelahan. Link herewith http://www.birrgaaclub.com/BirrGAAClubP ... Page1.html

Pat Donegan. Signed out of respect for players and all involved with Offaly.
"Offaly's hurling is exact and abrasive: full of assurance on the ball, devoid of fumbling and slicing and sod-busting". Kevin Cashman RIP (September 1994).
Thanks again for that have to say looking back on that and the teams that won county titles
