Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024

PP have Offaly as 4/6 to win the title, meaning they will probably be close to 4/5 to win the game in normal time.
That's a 1 point handicap.

I'd expect Offaly to go off as 3 or 4 point favourites and closer to 1/2.

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024

There is absolutely no team selection dilemma for Johnny Kelly. There shouldn’t be but I’d imagine Kelly will want to play them as his job is gone if they lose. Which if comes to pass shows Johnny Kelly is more concerned about his own managerial career than the development of Offaly hurling. All U2...

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024

A lot of commenters on the Kilkenny GAA forum saying that senior management and the county board were unaware that the new 60-hour rule is not yet in place and that Doyle would be ineligible for this evening. It was discussed at a KK county board meeting last night. What makes it all the more comica...

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024

Galway are now only 4 point favourites against Dublin in the other semi final. They went off as 8 point favourites in the group and beat Dublin by 16. Priced at 1/3 to win tonight. This comes on the back of Galway team news, revealing their 2 talisman forwards Darren Shaughnessy and Aaron Niland mis...

Re: InterCounty Hurling Championship 2024

I know there is a Carlow supporter here the odd time. Congrats on the result versus your near neighbours. Like ourselves, hurling mad and always longing for a day in the sun. Fully deserved result on Saturday versus Kilkenny and I hope they push on against Wexford and Antrim. Don't get me wrong, las...

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...
