Their statement read: “It is with regret that we can confirm that the Offaly senior team are withdrawing from the first round fixture in this year’s championship due to a member of our senior management team being diagnosed with Covid-19.
“In addition a number of our players are self-isolating due to unrelated cases.”
As a result, Cork have been awarded a walkover. Offaly’s remaining games are against Galway on 1 November and Wexford on 7 November. Cork’s campaign now begins against Wexford 31 October.
