Offaly manager John Maughan is looking forward to his second year in charge of the Faithful County.

Maughan has agreed to stay on for another year and following surgery on a persistent back injury, the Mayo native feels he will have more to offer this year.

Speaking to the Midland Tribune, the former Mayo manager stressed that he was ‘honoured and privileged’ to be involved again.

“I have been up in Offaly looking at games, we are looking to spread the net and bring in new players,” said Maughan.

Looking ahead to the NFL, Maughan admitted that Division Three will provide them with some very stern tests.

“Division Three is very competitive. It is hard to believe Cork are a Division 3 team. Derry are up from Division 4 with a new management, they will be very competitive. Down are there.

“I thought they were a real quality side but they didn’t get out of Division 3. There is Longford. There is no easy game. We will test ourselves along the way in those games but I hope to be able to match any of those and that is the challenge for us.”
