Re: Club football championship 2023

Tullamore vs Summerhill this Sunday in OCP. Bookies have this almost a 50/50 game. Even money and 11/10.
What are the realistic expectations with our county champions across the grades this year?

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2023

Slightly off topic but be interesting to see what will happen if Wexford finish bottom of table in Leinster. Will there be a clamour to keep them in? We had to take our medicine and now 5 year out of picture. Over the next few years we could do without relegation scraps while trying to bed in minor/...

Re: League & Championship hurling 2022

Game summed up by above posters, hard one for Belmont to take alright. When Coolderry won semi final last year, very few leaving Birr that day gave them a chance in final and it went down to the wire. Shinrone won't mind tonight. Don't think anyone would begrudge Belmont if they get over the line at...

Re: League & Championship hurling 2022

Birr were very impressive tonight. Defense was excellent throughout. Cahill and Nolan got some excellent scores. Worked hard all over the field. Used the ball well and have a few very dangerous forwards. Got second half of senior B game. Clara played well also. Took some nice scores and won most of ...

Re: League & Championship hurling 2022

Shinrone vs St. Rynaghs Shinrone will play better than last day out. They have good hurlers all around the field and will surely put in a performance. I don't think it will be enough though. Rynaghs in a knockout game will be a step too far. Jury still out on Rynaghs doing four in a row but a good p...

Re: Club Football Championship 2022

Shannonbridge gave a walkover because of covid seemingly and in fairness they fulfill fixtures in general. The Doon and Rynaghs walkovers are worrying in that it's happened a few times this year across league and championship. Rynaghs will have a strong minor team next year based on last year's unde...

Re: Club Football Championship 2022

I see Rynaghs gave Bracknagh a walkover in senior B. Are they relegated now or does relegation final take place. I'm not sure what ruling is on it. Predictions for senior games Tullamore vs Cappincur. Tullamore by 7 Ferbane vs Shamrocks. Ferbane by 2 Rhode vs Clara Rhode by 6 Edenderry vs Durrow. Ed...

Re: Minors hurlers 2022

Feel sick. So so close and then get the heart ripped at the end. We were out on our feet after the sending off. Our young men gave everything and emptied the tank. I'm not going down the route of match analysis, too raw for that now. Thanks to all players and management for a monumental year. Ye gav...

Re: National Foothall league Div 2 predictions

An improvement today for Offaly. Goal at the end was a sickener. It looked to be a square ball. We had possession prior to that and gave it straight back. Meath created 5/6 goal chances. We had two. Our goal was very well worked. Paddy Dunican had a great game in goals. James lalor and deccie Hogan ...

Re: Huring back in Birr

A few thoughts on hurling in general in the county. Good crowd at game yesterday. Any atmosphere was gone after two minutes with corks early start. Was hoping we'd keep it tight for first 15 mins or so and crowd get behind them. Wasn't to be, cork killed the game off early. I've no interest in the b...

Re: O'Byrne and Walsh cups 2022

Decent showing today by hurlers. Lots of players getting game time. Corcoran had a great game in the goals. Made four or five saves during the game and puckouts accurate. We were 11/12 up when we started emptying the bench. Sampson at full forward had a really good first half. Involved in two goals,...

Re: Club Hurling championship

A few thoughts on today's game. First off fair play to Rynaghs. A hammering looked on the cards early on and they knuckled down and fought their way back into the game. I thought the red card was harsh, but haven't had the chance to see it back yet. It was definitely a foul but don't think there was...

Re: Senior A Football 2019

Lone shark i think the problem is that you can be knocked out by a team you havent played. If tullamore played shamrocks and were beaten then fair enough. I was at Shamrocks game and the biggest roar of the day was when word came through that Clara scored a goal. Suppose Tullamore won that game and ...

Re: Senior A Football 2019

Going by the tribune last week too the rankings are irrelevant. Just find it strange they put them up. Take it the underdogs werent meant to win :lol: and the seedings were to hold up.
