Re: National Hurling League 2017

:D It hardly takes a genius to point out that we are where we are, Offaly hurling has been on a massive spiral downwards since we took a massive beating in the All Ireland final to Kilkenny back in 2000, in the time since, we've never once appointed a high profile manager who could come in and bring...

Re: B championship

I couldn't agree more with what ditch hurler has said. It should run as one group, seven games. Top 4 semi-finals based on finishing position. Bottom two relegation. There should be plenty of competitive games, with something to play for right to the end of the group, be it seeding position, qualify...

Re: Offaly Club Hurling C'ship 2016

They play junior for the same reason the Mayo and Roscommon champions play intermediate. The standard is not good enough. Look at the beating lusmagh took last year from the kilkenny junior champions. If we had the same structure as football then we could let them off to play intermediate, sending o...

Padraig Kenny, Sarsfields Perth.

Re: Offaly Club Hurling C'ship 2016

Keyser, to answer an earlier question, not all finals are in county grounds. Last weekend the Monaghan football final was not in Clones. Kerry hurling also tends to be in Tralee, close to their hurling heartland of North Kerry.

Re: Offaly Club Hurling C'ship 2016

Not alone did Tipperary contest the all Ireland semi this year, they also are the current munster club champions with commercials winning in 2015. They have won and lost minor all irelands , and contested an u21 all ireland. A small county like offaly should have a far tighter championship timetabl...

Re: Offaly Club Hurling C'ship 2016

OCP will look like the ploughing site by the time the senior hurling final gets to be played there if this rain keeps up. Look at the amount of games that will go in there between now and October 22.

Re: Offaly Club Hurling C'ship 2016

Fixture committee defying logic at this stage.

This weekend will be the sixth championship game in a row that Rynaghs have played in OCP...a bit like the Dubs in Croker!

Re: Offaly County Board Thread

I think that the Leinster Council made it clear last year that they have no objection to any county entering a "home & away" arrangement with Galway but that they will not force any county to enter such an agreement. Leinster Council want Galway to remain in Leinster for competition &...

Galway dont say who "turned down" their proposals re Westmeat & Offaly games/venues......... So to say OY CB turned them down is reaching....... They came into Leinster on the basis that their games would be played in Leinster and this is what Central & Leinster Councils agreed,,,...

Re: Offaly County Board Thread

It appears that the galway Co board offered to play offaly in ocp this weekend on the proviso this would start a home and away arrangement, and the Co board turned it down. If true this is scandalous. We have been saddled for years now with a stadium we can't really afford, and an opportunity comes ...
