I meant to post this before but never got the chance. My sympathy to his family on their loss. 1953 Senior debut in goals for Drumcullen in their 3-7 to 2-6 win over Tullamore. Doesn’t feature in the next game two months later when Drumcullen’s 4 in a row bid is ended at the semi-final stage by Rah...

Vincent Hogan's recollection of that day in August 1998 from yesterday's Irish Independent https://www.independent.ie/sport/gaelic-games/hurling/the-day-of-the-short-whistle-the-missing-minutes-and-the-pitch-protests-that-changed-hurling-history-39156051.html And here's my description of the build-u...

The situation could best be summed up with the words of Paul Brady’s song: “there’s no use in askin’ / the answer is nobody knows” . And in fairness, I wouldn’t be criticising anyone for not knowing. But anyway. We really won’t know how to schedule the club season until they see how the intercounty ...

Ah, Whelahan was Offaly's best hurler. There were several on that team whose likes we will never see again (John Troy, Johnny Dooley, Martin Hanamy) but Whelahan had everything. His stickwork was sublime, his reading of the game was incredible. 'How did he know the ball was going to be there?' was a...

I don't know if anyone has paid too much attention, but there are new regrading by-laws (which might have been introduced last year). Instead of regrading up to seven players who played Senior last year, clubs must now list 18 players who were previously graded Senior who can only play Senior in 202...

It might be different in Senior A football where there most clubs have a sizable population, but hosting a home Senior match would put a massive strain on resources. Go to a match at any rural venue and the same fellas (and ladies) you see on the gate, parking cars and generally helping out are the ...

I presume the one you mention was when McManus was in possession of the ball when the referee stopped play and was awarded an indirect free, which is as per rule. Which is why McManus didn't attempt a score from what was a scoreable position. I was way too far away from the incident to tell whether ...

Eoghan had a bandage on his thigh afterwards. Might have been a hamstring injury.

Looking a Cahill going off I thought I saw him limping so maybe he was injured? We should however have an able second free taker and a third to be honest

Getting playable pitches at the moment is a big problem. I'd say there aren't too many that could take a match right now.

A big win for Offaly last Sunday, but it wasn’t without its frustrations too. Yes, there was a stiff wind that was worth 25 yards of territory, but Offaly’s inability to win their own ball for much of the first half allowed Wicklow to get a run of scores and build a small lead during the second quar...

A simple win will do. Offaly's scoring difference exceeds Kerry's as it us, and so wouldn't deteriorate in a win. So Antrim are in the final against Offaly or Kerry. Offaly simply must win though. Do we have to beat Antrim by a certain amount of points or once we win were in the final? Playing Antri...

Now there's a thought.

What are we to do? Outlaw rain?

The Mumps in Kerry . . . the Corona in Antrim . . . Division 2A could have a bit to run yet.

Grumbling in Kerry because Offaly v Antrim will be played after Kerry play their final game. But there is NO stipulation that each team play their final round of games simultaneously. (That would never work if there was an odd number of teams in a group.) That, and Antrim presumably have accommodati...

Two years ago, beat Wexford in Enniscorthy then beat Westmeath in Mullingar in their next away game.

When is the last time we have won 2 away games in a row!?
