THE OFFALY HURLERS have clinched promotion to Division 1A of the hurling league, despite not being in action this weekend.
Johnny Kelly’s side are top of the Division 1B table and Dublin’s 2-29 to 3-17 win over Carlow tonight, ensures they are promoted with a game to spare.
And if Waterford defeat Westmeath tomorrow, they will join them in securing promotion.

Waterford face Offaly in the last round on Saturday 22 March in Dungarvan, the Deise are the only team that can now overtake Offaly ensuring the Faithful will bag one of the two promotion places on offer and can look forward to top-flight hurling in 2026.
After drawing their opener with Carlow, Offaly have enjoyed an excellent run of form as they defeated Laois away, Antrim at home, Dublin away, and Westmeath at home.

Comhghairdeas to the Offaly Senior Hurlers and their management and backroom team. Without pucking a ball this weekend, we have been promoted to division 1A and will be playing with the top teams in the country in the 2026 National… pic.twitter.com/4BYe8WurYg
Huge congrats to @Offaly_GAA senior hurlers on their promotion to Division 1A. 4 years ago we were playing in the Christy Ring. Massive credit to our players, management & backroom room who have worked so hard. Well done lads, 👏👏👏
The Wexford footballers are also celebrating after they clinched promotion today from Division 4 of the Allianz Leagues.
Wexford defeated Wicklow 0-20 to 0-12 at Chadwicks Wexford Park in a rearranged fixture after a postponement last month due to weather conditions.
John Hegarty’s side maintained their flawless record in the league with a fifth win on the bounce, adding to earlier victories over London, Limerick, Carlow, and Waterford.
They are top of the table on 10 points and only second-placed Limerick, on seven points, can now overtake them, ensuring Wexford will play Division 3 football next spring and have a Division 4 final to look forward to in late March.
The focus will now fall on the scrap for the second promotion spot with next weekend’s game between Limerick and Wicklow, second against third, now hugely significant.
Full time. Wexford are promoted with two games in hand! Well done to John Hegarty and his men.
