Re: Liam Kearns - R.I.P.

Terrible news to hear this last night. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Also to the Offaly team and staff who have been working with him most recently.

Re: Offaly Senior Football Team - Championship 2022

Terribly disappointing day yesterday. There was a sizable Offaly support that travelled down; Wexford would probably be disappointed with their own following so just goes to prove that Hurling is their big focus. Offaly looked like a small team against some big men. Despite that, we must have broke ...

Re: U20 "22

First - its good to see that most/all of the posts above are positive and supporting of the U20 team's performance last night. That is what is needed more than ever in Offaly, that we encourage the good green shoots when we have them. Second - it was a good performance overall, still playing nice at...

Leinster Football Championship 2022

We have drawn to play Wexford first (at home). If we can negotiate that hurdle, then it will be the Dubs. https://www.rte.ie/sport/gaa/2021/1127/1263526-2022-championship-mayo-and-galway-set-to-meet/ I think the Qualifiers are back to the "old" format for next year, which generally favours...

Re: O'Connor Park lease debacle

I recall that McHale Park in Castlebar is also owned by the local club. According to the "irrefutable" authority of Wikipedia (in fairness, it references the Western People newspaper), in 2005, the County Board agreed a 50 Year Lease on the stadium before embarking on their Upgrade work. N...

Re: Offaly vs Louth 2021 Leinster Football Championship

We made harder work of that than I was hoping or expecting. However, we learned how to take our goal chances and got our just desserts in the end. Big well done to the Offaly team. Lots of players got a run (or a couple of sessions) today and did quite well. I did not think that starting Niall would...

Re: Div 3 South predictions & general comment

Some interesting team changes. It will make for an interesting comparison with the last performance, and to see who actually finishes the game.

Re: Offaly Hurling 2020

We cant even reach the Final of Christy Ring Cup (3rd Tier). :cry:
If dropping down to this level was hoped to be an aberration last year, not bouncing back is the proof of our level. Can we accept that? :evil:

Re: Offaly V Kildare 2nd round of LSFC

Great showing by most of the team so far, but I'm not going to single out any names yet. Kildare heads could drop when they see their own wastage. Keep it up lads. We CAN win this.
Mawn Offaly.

Re: DIV 3 NFL predictions and general chit chat.

I agree that the 2020 All-Ireland series should be cancelled. This year will have a big *Asterisk* against it (if not in the record books but certainly in people's minds) no matter what the outcome of any games are. Club matches were a risk to play too, but did not involve as much travel and the gro...

Re: Byrne v Duignan

If he has Donal Óg Cusack annoyed enough to be throwing swipes, then Michael must be doing something right. It's always good to be annoying those Cork Rebels. I'm taking it as a good sign that Michael is prepared to speak up on behalf of the Clubs too.

40 years since we started the Hurling Revolution

No matter what other "pretenders" followed later on in 1980 itself and in later decades, surely this was the most momentous upset in Hurling since God was a nipper. It ranks as one of my biggest sporting regrets that I was not among the 9000-ish attendance on the famous day in Croke Park. ...
