It looked as if Offaly's championship hopes were in disarray, however, they overcame Antrim in the All-Ireland quarter-final and qualified to meet Clare in the semi-final.
Martin's side won the third game and qualified to play Kilkenny in the final in a repeat of the provincial decider.
Martin captured a second All-Ireland medal that day and later picked up a second All-Star award.
