Michael Fennelly as Offaly hurling manager is over after the county board decided against offering him another term.
Fennelly had served three seasons in the job and indicated that he would be prepared to stay on following the defeat to Carlow which cost them a place in the Joe McDonagh Cup final in May.
The former Kilkenny star had said that not reaching the decider would amount to a “failure” on his part and, ultimately, the Carlow loss is probably what cost him the opportunity to continue in the role more than anything else.
