Some round 2 milestones

The 20 points is Tullamore’s biggest win since beating St Brigid’s 7-13 to 0-3 (31 points) in 2015.

And Bracknagh stand on the cusp of a first Senior quarter-final appearance since...

Re: Offaly Senior A Hurling Championship 2023

Frankthetank makes an interesting point here. And some teams just don't have forwards. Or have one. In their two matches to date (I'm not distinguishing scores from play from those from placed balls here), for Tullamore, Shane Dooley has 0-10, Mike Fox has 1-7 and three others have 0-11 between them...

Re: hurling all Ireland 2023

The nightmare All-Ireland for the Tipp supremacists. They'll be out fishing or shooting on Sunday, as far from a television as they can get. This couldn't get any worse for them. Either Limerick win the fourth in a row, or Kilkenny stop them.

Gonna be a great final.

Re: Offaly Senior A Hurling Championship 2023

The rationale to change the rule, Tank? I don't know, and I only discovered in early 2020 that it had changed. It would presumably have required a motion at Convention. A few years before the introduction of the split season, there was a plan to commence the Junior championships before the Senior ch...

Re: Offaly Senior A Hurling Championship 2023

Frankthetank is right. It wouldn't be unusual for Lusmagh to use just 17 or 18 of 19 Senior players in a year. I notice most Senior A clubs used three subs last Friday evening. Lusmagh used none. The old system where seven players were regraded suited the smaller clubs better. I could be wrong, but ...

Re: Offaly Senior A Hurling Championship 2023

I love a good mystery. A mysterious 'C' appears to have lined out at centre half-back for the champions. Sounds like one of those Brazilian soccer players. And four in the full-forward line. I wasn't there, but that could lead to bunching. But shur, they know themselves, I suppose.

Re: On this day 25 years ago

Can’t agree with you there, Brack, so I pulled the Dooley book to see what they said. The recovery owed far far more than merely a bit of shouting and roaring and going out to prove Kay-tin wrong.

Re: On this day 25 years ago

What Babser said – taken from Vincent Hogan’s piece in the following day’s Irish Independent . Journalists focussed on the ‘sheep’ reference, but there was much more than that. Absolving himself of any blame, of course. And I'd forgotten he insulted Antrim in the middle of the whole thing. "Cou...
