Re: SFC Qualifier Kildare v Offaly
While it was a reasonably good effort by Offaly it also showed up key deficiencies that have to be worked on if further progress is to be made. Inability to win ball around the middle is critical. What is even more worrying is that there doesn't seem to be any strategy for winning possession there, ...

Re: Offaly vs Wexford 2016 Hurling Qualifier - Saturday July
Agree totally Sharp Eye. Joe Bergin has been in fine goal-scoring form at full-forward. It defies logic that he was played out the field against Wexford. It would not be a matter of lumping ball in on top of him every time but without him as a target in there it was no wonder that guys were shooting...

Re: Offaly vs Wexford 2016 Hurling Qualifier - Saturday July
Shocking performance today. Why in the name of God was Joe Bergin not played at the edge of the square when Offaly had the wind in the first half? Surely the gameplan should have been to feed the full forward line as much as possible and have our dangermen Bergin and Dooley in there. Instead what we...

Re: U21 Hurling Championship.
I think there's a general misconception about the so called conveyor belt of talent that exists in Kilkenny. In the last 13 years Klkenny have won 3 All Ireland minor titles and two All Ireland under 21 crowns. Considering the amount of senior All Irelands they have won in the same period this is n...

Re: New Minor & Senior Hurling Management
I was a little alarmed to hear the county chairman telling Will on Radio 3 that a portion of the special hurling development funding that Offaly will receive from headquarters next year (45,000 I believe given to 5 weaker counties) will be used to keep Liam Sheedy on in some sort of advisory role a...

Just seen this article which was published on 29th April. Is it gamesmanship or genuine on the part of the Longford manager?

Re: Congrats to Gallen Cs
Well done to Gallen CS. Great achievement for a relatively small school to win women's and men's All-Irelands in the one year. It is important to acknowledge that players come from a catchment area wider than just Ferbane parish, including Pullough and Shannonbridge.

Re: 2016 National League Div 3
Great victory today. Offaly played with great pace, intensity and team spirit. Mickey Brazil, Eoin Carroll and Nigel Dunne were superb. Sean Pender stood out in a very good Offaly defence. Unfortunately basic errors and poor shot selection let us down too many times. If we rectify these we have a te...

Re: new offaly constituency?
Does anyone know why Joe Hannigan didn't call for a recount? He was only 17 votes behind John Leahy when he got eliminated. Recounts, or at least rechecks, have been demanded by candidates in other constituencies where the margins were wider.

Re: Allianz Hurling League Roinn 1B 2016
Sam, excellent points there about the danger of burnout for young hurlers. Before I read your post I was wondering why do young players not commit to senior intercounty when it offers them the chance to develop and display their skills at the highest level. But your post puts things in context. Ther...

Re: 2016 National League Div 3
Are you referring to the town or the GAA grounds?! I am not sure how either or both being 'a dump' gives Kildare more of an advantage!Bord na Mona man wrote:Kildare will have a bit more of an advantage this time with the game being played in Newbridge. Especially with Newbridge being such a dump as well.

Re: John Egan RIP
I am very sorry to hear of Johnny Egan's passing. Poignantly, he was chosen to be inducted into the Offaly Football Hall of Fame next month. Having served Offaly for so long and with such great distinction he was unlucky to lose out on winning an All Ireland medal, playing his final game for the cou...
