The summer of '98 is one that no hurling fan will forget in a hurry. Between heated exchanges, the sacking of a manager and the coining of the phrase "a heap of sheep", the on-pitch action was rivalled only by the off-pitch antics. The Documentary on One, Who Fears to Speak of '98 recalls the events of that dramatic championship that gave enthralled fans something to chew on for years to come.
After losing to Kilkenny in the Leinster Final, the Offaly team also lost their manager Babs Keating after his comments comparing the team to farm animals. The team then embarked on an epic journey of redefinition and self-discovery. Meanwhile, a fall of rain delayed the throw in for the Clare and Waterford Munster Final which ultimately led to an outburst of tension and the lengthy ban of a Clare midfielder.
