Re: Offaly Senior Football 2026

Positive performance, great win against a team that came to play.

Our backs were tight, tenacious and tackled well. Our midfield won the battle, with Higgins and Leavy giving great help under the breaks and in the air at times. Delighted for Bryant who has pucks of ability.

This team and panel ...

Resurrecting this thread to ask can anyone point to how we fell off a cliff - in terms of underage development, investment and Senior Hurling team development - so far that we didnt get out of the Christy Ring? In a few days time we will be asking (I believe and hope) some serious questions of the ...

Re: Offaly Senior Football 2026

People need to relax and not worry about who is or isnt playing for Offaly.

Support the lads that are there, and lets hope we get lads back from injury.

Against Cork there was 9 missing from the team that played Kildare last year in the Division 3 final. No team can absorb that kind of loss ...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2025

Its very disappointing to hear Kellaghan is not in with Offaly.

A fine player, has size and pucks of football. He had a very good championship also.

I dont understand this tbh.

Re: Offaly Club Hurling Championship 2025

confirm if Cillian Farrell won a junior title with Edenderry while being an all ireland senior hurling medalist. Sean Og Farrell would have won an all Ireland while hurling junior too.

He did indeed. Captained Edenderry to that Junior A Title in the 1998 victory over Tullamore a couple of months ...

Re: Club football 2025

Ferbane won a terrific game of football.

They had a score awarded to them that was incorrect on the field of play. Mistakes happen.

Shamrocks were well up near the end of the game and blew the head gasket in not holding on. Mistakes happen.

No offence to anyone on here from Shamrocks-a very good ...

Re: Offaly u20 Footballers 2025

I wont lump in on players or management as it is an amateur sport.

However, criticism is warranted based on last weeks outing. Keeping in mind that Westmeath wont win the Leinster i felt that the Offaly team as prepared and selected were poorly served.

There are things that you can do tactically ...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024

A fully fit and firing Rhode senior team (even with its high age profile)would beat London.

Players downing tools in a fashion like today, does not bode well.

The manager is irrelevant in that situation today.

It’s the worst result in Offaly Senior footballers history?

Re: Club Football Championship 2022

Didn’t Edenderry basically ban anyone playing anoy other sports this season if they wanted to play senior football? Ridiculous if true.
Not true

he's an elite stopper at the heart of the defence, the type of guy you build a team around.

Brilliant Stats and Facts there POTH.

The foundations were laid in the 50's and 60's for what happened in the early 70's.
