Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

I know lads have played for offaly and have transfered but that was within the rules There's a rule clearly showing kerry are in the wrong ? Worth a note we had David Frank's hurling club in killkenny for a long time Article from 2022 where Duignan and Antrim representatives had hit out at the exem...

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024

It doesn't come in until next year so it won't affect us now. I'm not sure if it has been changed to include all counties or just Liam McCarthy. You'd be hoping that it would affect us next year (as that would mean we have been promoted from the Joe Mc). It means a player can't play senior and u20 w...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

Kerry's new star Luke Crowley set to miss next Sunday's crucial game against Offaly as the All Ireland u20 football final is also on Sunday. No confirmation either way, but you'd imagine football comes before anything else in the Kingdom. Crowley is from Glenflesk and son of 3-time All Ireland winne...

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024

Just to note that Killian Doyle cannot play for Kilkenny on Wednesday sending off or not. The amendment to the 60 hour gap between games will only take effect in 2025. As soon as that match threw in, he was gone from Wednesday. I had just realised that and came back to ask if anyone knows the rulin...

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024

TG4 have yet to confirm which game is being shown on TV Wednesday. However, their coverage states a start time of 7:25 and as the Offaly game is at 7, it seems Galway V Dublin will be shown. Seems like a massive missed opportunity for TG4. I'd imagine Offaly V Kilkenny will be shown on TG4's YouTube...

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024

From the team that lost to Kilkenny in an u20 quarter final 2 years ago, only Dan Bourke and Cathal King are still underage. I count about 9 who have played for the Offaly seniors, 7 of whom are on the senior panel at the moment. I'd estimate 6-7 of the Kilkenny team are involved with their current ...

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024

Kilkenny are the one team that our u20s of last year and minors of '22 didn't face on their way to Leinster victories. Our minors of 2021, which is this age group, lost well in a semi final in Nowlan Park. However, a couple of years development and younger lads coming through should be a major boost...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

The 2 of ye are ruining the thread for everyone else. Ye have both said what ye want to say, ye are clearly never going to agree on the answer so either move on or take it to private chat. As with everything, balance is required and some of the u20s will have to play both competitions, that’s what a...

How do they qualify for westmeath just a side note I didn't haveto look at the user name to see who was saying we were in 3rd gear what absolute scutter Offaly were a strong team starting there was no 3rd gear I'd actually love to know how you came to that analysis We brought on screeney at half ti...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

Eoghan Cahill was due to be named as a sub last Saturday but some form of admin error prevented this. It was clear as day to anyone on the terrace that David Nally won’t hurl again for quite a while. I agree with hurling the 20s. Have this game out of sight by half time and then start to make the ch...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024

Very tough draw. Down are the favourites to win it out. The prize of winning is a golden ticket to the All Ireland series next year, so of course they will be motivated. Limerick have gotten a good few lads back in since the league. A few of these came back just 10 days before the Cork game in the M...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024

Yesterday was nothing to do with tactics. Dublin are on a different level physique wise. It was like Dublin seniors playing the Dublin minors in a challenge match. I know a lot of the Offaly lads and I know the work they put in at training and even the days they aren't training . I'm not sure how D...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

Great to get the win today, better team all over the pitch. Ref was very poor in my opinion. Definitely was poor from an Offaly point of view anyway, wouldn’t be right of me to try comment for Westmeath but 44 frees given in a game of hurling? There’s no match where that amount can be justifiable. V...
