Why did it take so long to confirm the details of these fixtures?

The way I look at it......It is still within Offaly's control. However, they need to win by 8 points or more in order for other results not to matter for them to finish in top 2. Unfortunately Offaly's scoring against Longford won't be counted in the 3-way Offaly, Kildare and Louth tie breaker. Off...

Can I just ask about the rule for players involved between u20 and senior that was so controversial in the lead up to our match with Cork. Does the same situation stand? No impact for us because of Joe Mac participation....... I say this as we obviously have more senior players again involved this y...

Love these lads. Dublin are always a tricky opponent underage and our lads got there in the end. Was hurling myself today while this match was on. Conditions were horrendous where I was and didn't make for pretty hurling.....not that I'm able to play that style anyway. But great to get up and runnin...

U20 and Minor panels have always been 24. Senior panels are 26 for maybe a decade now, having been 30 previously. Very strong looking team. What’s the story with Conor Doyle. Has he been injured? Panels were 24 last year- not sure when/if they changed from 26 2022 minor panel was also 24. Just look...

I would be hopeful against Laois. Westmeath are operating at a higher grade and will be in good shape. I wouldn't count on a win or take any team for granted in this competition. I think we have played well in all games (except Cork) in the league against much better teams than Laois or Westmeath. I...

Finally do we know our best 15 for championship? I'll make a stab at it Mark Troy Ben Conneely Ciaran burke Sam bourke Jason Sampson Cillian kiely Killian Sampson David king Leon Fox Charlie Mitchell Brian Duignan Dan ravenhill David nally Oisin kelly Adam screeney I'd like Mitchell inside myself p...

That was a real sucker punch. Cork probably have a higher sense of urgency than some of our other opponents up to now and didn't let up. I had thought they might use the match as opportunity to go deeper into their panel, but that didn't happen. I tend to agree with other comments around Kiely. He w...

Cork this weekend.... Rebels are obviously favourites. Bookies have the handicap at 10 points. Offaly have hurled well for about 75% of each game so far, with the lull (whenever that happens) resulting in the opposition getting a run on us. Does anyone know the latest on Kiely injury? Cork have some...

Have only been taken a passing interest in the 3rd level college hurling scene. While its only fresher hurling, it's nice to see Screeney, Spain, Shirley and Martin, either in the team or squad who are challenging for silverware at colleges level. Hopefully this translates into their involvement at ...

I think having 2 up/2 down will be a much better system for all concerned to be honest. Having only 1 up/1 down was a real problem for the developing teams I always felt.

Sorted on the ticket front.............Thanks to all who messaged me also.

Major thanks to the Kinnitty man who offered an olive branch to a Coolderry man and is going pick me up and sort me out with a lift on top of a ticket to the game. And that bates Banagher!!!!

Flying home to Ireland especially for this tonight and will travel down tomorrow. Managed to get the all clear from the boss. How does one get tickets for this? I see some post they are sold out. Where were they on sale to start with? Any chance of picking one up at the gate? Seems a little odd to g...

Good thread to have. Some fine teams at all levels here. Finals predictions Inter - Shamrocks V Coolderry Junior A - K/K V Clodiagh Gaels Junior B - Edenderry V Lusmagh My opinion on all of the above could easily change after the next round of fixtures Very glad to see an adult hurling team in Edend...
