Re: Club Managers 2024

Paul Keane seems to be your stereotypical current hurling manager who enjoys the managerial circuit. I’m sure it’s all for the love of the game. His Shinrone appointment will see him manage a club in 4 different counties since 2017. (At least) Adare (Limerick) Burgess (Tipperary) O’Callaghan Mills (...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

No venue has been confirmed for the Down game. So Newry is as much on the table as Ballycran. Then again so is Portaferry!!!!

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

Offaly began the 2019 season as favourites for the Joe McDonagh and ended up relegated to the Christy Ring. It means zero.

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

Apparently panel members will get a run out vs clare and u20s won't be involved either. In for a fair walloping on the cards if that's the case. Clare will more than likely use players from down their depth chart aswell. While they haven’t mathematically qualified for the league finals, to miss out...

Offaly will compete in Division 1B of the league next year. The group will consist of:

Offaly
Dublin
Antrim
Westmeath
Laois
Waterford
Plus one more which most probably will be the loser of Cork v Wexford.

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

Bookies have it a 10 point spread. Anything less than that is a good day at the office. Cork if they get a run on us, wouldn’t be a team to let up. Inherent self-esteem issues due to a lack of senior success for 20 years while trying to maintain the facade of a traditional hurling county. But that’s...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

There is/are no Joe McDonagh semi-final(s).

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

As has already been discussed here, we won't stay up and next year we will be in a revamped Division 2. (Called 1B). It will be the perfect competitive environment for a developing Offaly team. As things stand it would consist of: Dublin Westmeath Antrim Cork Offaly Carlow Laois Be some kick in the ...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024

Very disappointing if true, that Cian Farrell has left the panel. Has the potential to be the best forward in the county and the centre point of our forward line.

I clearly said St Patrick’s Day which is literally a month away.
