Two neighbouring Offaly GAA clubs are in talks about amalgamating.
Dwindling player numbers is forcing Killeigh and fellow parishioners Killurin to look into the possibility of joining forces. Former Offaly county board chairman Pat Teehan chaired a meeting between the two clubs on Tuesday night and the matter is expected to top the agenda at the Killeigh AGM, which has been rearranged for tomorrow night.
Killeigh were previously joined with Raheen - the reigning Offaly intermediate football champions - in the late 1980s and 1990s.
The amalgamation can only happen if 75 per cent of both club's membership vote in favour of it. It will be the second merger in Offaly in two years if it happens, with Ballyskenagh and Killavilla having formed one club in March 2013.
