Mick Hogan deserves mention, what a servant of Birr and Offaly at minor level and a few senior performances too. A teak tough and tenacious defender as many will know, probably unlucky so many other top class inter county defenders emerging in late 80s/early 90s. Sad be passed 4 years almost exactly after another Birr and Offaly minor legend Adrian Cahill, great to say we had the pleasure of seen both Mick and Adrian in their prime with club and county..Rest well lads and thanks for great days (and nights) with club and county. RIP

Only right that Mick Hogan is remembered. God, 56 is no age to be dying.
On the field an All-Ireland Féile na nGael Skillstars winner at 13, played Senior Colleges hurling for St Brendan's CS for three years, something tells me he was an Offaly Minor panellist in 1984 (when he was 16) too.
Taken far too soon. Rest in Peace.

Saddened to hear Albert has passed away after an illness. From the famed Cuba Avenue in Banagher, he was an All-Ireland Minor winner with Offaly in 1987.
The Mannion family hold the distinction of winning three All-Ireland Minor hurling medals with Roy (1986) and Karl (1989) also earning Celtic crosses at the grade.
Deepest sympathy to his family, neighbours and friends and to all who hurled with him.

Condolences to all in Shinrone on the untimely death of Joe Cleary.
He was a savagely tough hurler with plenty of skill, who had plenty of hurling still in him.

And we spare a thought for the Bracken family Ballycommon at this time. A very sad loss and may Noel rest in peace.

Fair play to the entire Senior Football squad, management and backroon team who travelled together after training last night to the wake of Noel Bracken in respect of his brother Aidan. Tom Parlon also attended the funeral this morning, so great respect show by the entire Offaly GAA family. Much appreciated.

i like to sent my condolence to the family of the late Noel flossy Hogan who passed last week .Noel was a former minor and under 21 hurler with offaly. and was on the brilliant Birr team who brought the first all ireland club title to offaly in 1995.
hard to believe that Noel is the 3rd member of the side to pass along with Mick Hogan Adrian Cahill . RIP Flossy.
