Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

Wasn't there a lad from castleknock playing for the u20s footballers a year or two ago? Eoin Sawyer. He didn't play a minute, mind you. It was the All Ireland winning team. Shane Horan, the Kilmacud man with Ballycumber roots put in a few good years for the seniors. John Coughlan from St Sylvesters...

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.

Re: Offaly Minor Hurling 2024

The reality is, whether people like it or not, is than we will be weaker than Galway/Kilkenny/Dublin/Wexford in a given year. By dint of demographics/playing numbers, this is just fact. Let's take a look then at the next level (Laois, Westmeath, Antrim, Carlow, Kerry and Kildare in recent times at u...

Re: Offaly Minor Hurling 2024

All in all, a very creditable year for these young men and plenty of inter county experience gained.

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024

The team has shown how capable it is and if we go for it, I see us with comfortable wins against London and Limerick and have a proper crack at Down. This is a good team and there is a lot more to come, we'll see a couple more all Ireland u20s next year again I expect and there's definitely 3 from ...

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024

2007 Leinster U21 semi final I think. We lost the final to Dublin, Diarmuid Connolly was playing.

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024

Could be due to the aforementioned 2022 clash taking place in Nowlan Park?

In any case, it's great news. Should be a brilliant game and hopefully having a 20:1 supporter ratio in attendance in our favour can be worth a couple of points to the lads.

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024

Galway would be neutral venue as I don't believe they are granted any home games at underage level.

Re Kilkenny, I'm not sure if we have a home/away agreement at the grade. If not, then I'd imagine they as #1 seeds will have home advantage.

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024

Tricky group, we stumbled over Limerick in the end in Tullamore, and they turned it into a scrap. Getting them away leaves this a lot more difficult as they will be chomping at the bit to have another go at us down there. London, should be ok. Nothing to fear from Down? How close were they to Armag...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024

they'll hardly have the appetite for this comp having been stuck in it last year too Just to focus on this, there is zero reason why Offaly shouldn't be all guns blazing for the Tailteann Cup. I struggle to see how they wouldn't have an appetite for it. We're not stuck in the competition, we are a ...

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024

Offaly are a good cut above laois at this level and should beat them with little fuss, I'd be protecting some of the lads that are playing senior so they are available for the senior team to give meath a good beating and continue our good momentum, far more important. We will give Meath a good beat...
