A fundraising event organised by Offaly GAA in conjunction with Club Faithful and all the GAA clubs in the county is currently underway.

With Covid-19 restrictions preventing the annual ‘Grand Canal Walk’ from taking place, the county board have instead scheduled a ‘Walk for Club & County’ on Saturday, 27th March. Donations are currently being accepted through the www.grandcanalwalk.ie website and all money raised will be split 50/50 between Offaly GAA and the clubs.

Over 100 people have signed up to take part in a manner which complies with Covid-19 guidelines. They include many well-known former and current players, referees and club stalwarts. 

County board chairman, Michael Duignan said: “We’re trying to help our clubs and also trying to get Offaly back to the top table. We were decimated last year with the lack of gate money and no opportunity to fundraise. The goodwill has been fantastic so far and we’re hoping that all Offaly GAA supporters will contribute to the event on 27th March.”
