Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024

Great to win that. Gives a boost to everything GAA in the county. So 'well done' to everyone involved. Great to get to play in Croke Park. You can't play there often enough. Obviously Dublin will provide huge challenges. It's been a while since Offaly played a division 1 team, so the step up will be...

There's astro in the goals, it'll be fine.

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

I expect tickets for Ennis will be scarce enough. Portlaoise it is, can watch Klare v Limerick on the Player during the week when I get time.

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

It's shocking. Details revealed only yesterday (Tuesday), 11 days before the Saturday. The Meagher, Rackard, Ring and McDonagh cups aren't deemed to be spectator sports, don't have sponsors and as a result there is zero promotion of the games. Why did it take so long to confirm the details of these ...

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024

U20 and Minor panels have always been 24. Senior panels are 26 for maybe a decade now, having been 30 previously.
Doon Exile wrote: Sat Mar 30, 2024 6:35 am Very strong looking team. What’s the story with Conor Doyle. Has he been injured?

Panels were 24 last year- not sure when/if they changed from 26

2022 minor panel was also 24.

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024

Simple logic alright. Also flawed. Beating the teams below you in Division 3 is very much Division 3 form, not that of Division 4. Anyway, the league is over. Life goes on and so does the football. For me it’s simple. The only teams we beat were relegated to Division 4 so we’re showing Division 4 fo...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

Venues has nothing to do with it. It's not like they have to go to somewhere like Hell or Galatasaray. Away trips won't take a whole day, being at an airport two hours before a flight, and unlike other sports, there's not going to be one game plan when playing at home and another when playing away. ...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

Lookit, this time last year, I'd say Laois were JMcD favourites, having come down from a higher level, and Kerry were second favourites, on the trail of a fourth successive final appearance. In a months time, nobody is going to recall who the ante post favourites were. League form is going to mean n...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024

No need to panic yet. No need for anyone to get desperate either. There was always a reasonable prospect of Offaly reaching the end of February without any points on the board. That likelihood was considered by Lone Shark on page 3 of this thread late last year. Wicklow and Limerick are in the same ...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

The numbers of people who'd go for that would be minimal. Someone from Offaly would be out the door at something like 12 noon and not home until 5.30pm. That's without eating. On St Patrick's day which is a family day and has been for years now. I think having a round of league fixtures on the 17th ...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

Given that it's raining since January 2023 (with the exception of around three weeks in May/June last year), pitches are saturated, and have actually deteriorated in the last week. It'll be a while before double headers are a possibility again. On grass, that is. Heavy rain tomorrow (more of it) cou...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

Dublin in Croke Park in 2018. Working back, beat Wexford down there in 2016. And a win over Limerick in 2015. When was the last time point we actually got a point in top flight hurling? I didn't see last evening's match. But I'm not surprised. Offaly were massively competitive against Waterford. Rou...
