Re: Hurling All Stars Joke

I smiled when I read that they only discovered the All-stars were a farce in Birr in 1993 (no offence, Leinsterman)! Shure we knew in Lusmagh long, long before that what a joke the whole thing was.

Re: Hurling All Stars Joke

Lets not forget that Offaly is still (as far as I know) the only county with All-Stars in every position, football and hurling. So we can hardly complain too much about the All-Star system. The All-Stars started (as far as I remember) in 1971, the year of Offaly's first senior All-Ireland, and Euge...

Re: County senior hurling championship

well what they should do for a three year term open draw and every game is a knock out like as Bracknaghboy said i didn't do any harm in the 80s when we were winning hurling and football all irelands. that would cut out the dead rubber group games and every game would be like a final plus more peopl...
