offaly hurlers (great effort)

well done to the lads today they did their best.big ask for some of the lads who never played at this level before or in croke park.hopefully the draw will be kind to us and we can get some games under the belt and get our full squad back.we needed a big target man at full forward who could break th...

Re: Offaly Senior Football Club Championship 2011

daingean pitch was in super order.edenderry and tubber were like the weather, brutal.fair enough the wind was bad but the standard was poor.edenderry played 7 men in defence and this seems to be their tactic as they did it against rovers,which i think is just total negative play.neither team will be...

Re: Leinster SHC 2011-Dublin v Offaly

Re: Hurling Championship Fixtures

i have heard first round of the junior A HURLING is 23rd of june.dont know why theres such a hold up with the junior its usually played when the hurling weekend comes around.i hope the county board doesnt play all the group games within a short space of time just to run it off.

Re: Réalt Dearg looking for new players/selectors/managers.

Re: REFEREE,S

the standard is poor.the county board are letting football refs do hurling matches which is totally not acceptable.i agree there has to be a level or grade for refs because when it comes to big games teams that are training all year are been let down by poor ref decisions and thus end up out of the ...

Re: Tipp v Offaly nfl

but sure if we are cautious every year we would not bother supporting the lads at all.we can always have hope every year no matter what, plus we have the bonus of playing football and hurling what alot of counties dont have.if we improve every year thats a start,last year hurlers gave us 2 great eff...

Re: Monthly expenditure

yes the cost is high but i wouldnt cut back to much.i know the teams are not winning much lately but surely no one would deny the lads a decent meal or proper training and physio.theses guys are picked to play for offaly so the least the county board can do is look after them.they dont get paid for ...
