Offaly sack Kevin Martin after 13-point loss to Westmeath

Kevin Martin has been relieved of his duties as Offaly hurling manager.

Saturday's 13-point defeat to Westmeath leaves the Faithful bottom of the Joe McDonagh Cup table.

With games still to come against Antrim and Kerry, Joachim Kelly has been installed as interim manager.

They also thanked Martin and his backroom staff "for their commitment and effort over the last two years".
