Re: U21 FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP

so just because michaels have had a stranglehold on the u21 championship for the last 12 odd years, its a joke???? cant see that being a valid point atal, its up to every other parish u21 teams to put in the same effort michaels have being putting in.

Re: Battle of Walsh Island

Edenderry and themselves will walk out of that. Rhode and Tullamore would be expected to ease through their group. Ferbane are the team to watch ...

Re: Rhode Have new manager

On the topic of managers, I read this article from the hoganstand earlier (extract below). A couple of interesting points from it: 1. who is actually going to manage Clonbullogue from the 2 named and who is the other one going to manage?

Re: Clara vs Edenderry 9/10/11

delighted the town won, they have a very good young team. but the main reason clara lost is that they were thinking more about athy/carbury than edenderry, so ive no sympathy for them. well done to the reds

Re: Offaly Senior Football Club Championship 2011

clara 5-2 to beat rhode, dont know where the bookies get theses mental odds. can they not look back at the last 3 or 4 meetings of the two sides, all very close affairs. id say rhode 8-11 and clara 11-8 would be more like it
