Did he ever play with Offaly and what was the story behind his leaving?

Article on JMcK in this year's Offaly v Limerick NHL programme.

His Offaly record is on the 'hurler lookup' section on the home page of this site.

I'm told there was no great conspiracy theory behind his inter-county transfer. Joe had transferred at club level a few years previously anyway, Limerick were going places and Offaly were in decline as the 1969 team was breaking up.
