Re: Offaly u20 Footballers 2025

I don't think anyone off that team has any immediate prospects of playing county senior bar maybe the goalkeeper.
However overall I think the u20s performed as expected. It wasnt a bad year for them. Lost to Dublin, Westmeath, beat a questionable Meath selection in a dead rubber(obviously wouldve ...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2025


As tends to happen most years, a few guys have left the panel. Most notably, Nigel Dunne.

Never easy to be on the fringes of panels, and how Offaly has used subs extremely sparingly, you can understand players frustrations. Lads seem to want to go back to their clubs and play league games rather ...

I doubt the team named actually starts. Theres a good chance that Ruairi McNamee and/or Davey Dempsey start

The whole year has been extremely disappointing.
Till next year…
Year not over. They go into secondary competition

Re: Offaly U20 Hurlers 2025

Who's not available against Galway? Screeney, Ter Guinan, Shane Rigney? Will be significantly weaker without those 3. Who comes in in place? I see Niall Furlong is playing u20 hurling and football and will likely start. Shirley Ravenhill Mahon etc with the seniors also to start? Should go absolutely ...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2025

Good performance all things considering. Troy, Ravenhill, Duignan, Ter Guinan and especially Dan Bourke played very well but good performances all over. Get Kiely and Conneely back firing and in the starting 15 and Offaly will be very strong.

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2025


Ah well done to players and management, seriously impressive achievement. Maybe the most pleasing aspect is the development of the younger players, which is well ahead of schedule, and the thought: how far can these lads go? Shirley, Mahon, Spain, Cathal King, the two Dans, all with very ...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2025

8 players that played for Laois against Down in Tailteann Cup final last year are not on panel this year. Offaly should beat them.

Doesn't appear that he is. Big loss as he's good enough to be on the starting team imo.

Will be interesting to see the team news. It's anyone's guess what the starting 15 will look like. It will certainly be very different to years gone by.

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2025



Liam was in goals after about ten minutes into 2nd half. Kk had a lad who came on, 19 years of age. Bigger than anyone on the offaly team. Scored a goal. Size is going to be an issue.


I’m wore out saying it

I note an ex player (although arguably one of our greatest ever) was in the media ...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2025


hard believe anyone would think screeney wouldnt make the ul team if he was fit? in my opinion he would easily make any county team in ireland including limerick.

UL are generally stacked with established Inter county players, many of which are a few years older than Screeney. He'd do well to ...
