Re: offaly team versus westmeath

I see westmeaths Twitter feed described the game as "pure rubbish" and "horrible to watch" Accurate?

Re: A chance for atonement - Westmeath v Offaly, Leinster SH

Big game for both teams. More than likely the only game realistically that either team will win this year.
Interesting that laois seem to be going really well with Kelly. Seems to have got a response from those players.

Re: Hurling development squads [Split from Walsh Cup]

I know nothing of the going on in offaly development squads. But having parent's involved in training is generally a no go. Clubs teams obviously you have to. But inter county definitely not a good idea.

Re: Hurling development squads [Split from Walsh Cup]

Got the score. 6 27 to 5 points. Non event.
Thought under 17 was knockout?. It is in Munster. Cork winning it out vs Waterford.

Re: Hurling development squads [Split from Walsh Cup]

The above post may well be correct. Maybe MGT on the line did not know their players well enough to make correct changes. That aside, Offaly were smaller, tired quicker and outside 3 maybe 4 players were physically dominated. Dublin also very good at taking the ball at pace then shooting for points....

Re: Hurling development squads [Split from Walsh Cup]

Under 17. Dublin 1 -20 to offaly 15 points. Really good game. Offaly went toe to toe for 45 minutes. Then as usual ran totally out of steam. Outscored 10 points to 1 I think for reminder of the game. Offaly really need to develop physically. Dublin and offaly equal skill level. But physically, dubli...

Re: Hurling development squads [Split from Walsh Cup]

The hurlers do not believe in strength work. The footballers do. Even if you lose at minor, as long as the world is done it will eventually pay at senior level. The hurlers are simply a law to themselves. You need both strength and skill to compete at County level hurlers turn their noses up at the ...

Re: Hurling development squads [Split from Walsh Cup]

It's a pity. The long term effects will last till senior and beyond. Lads will play for offaly but won't put in the full effort required because deep down they know things are quite simply not been done right. I know one lad on the team. Good player. But he knows the storey. And is not bothered to p...

Re: Hurling development squads [Split from Walsh Cup]

Big defeat in the minor. Laois 2-22 to 14 points. I was under the impression this was a very good minor. Obviously not going by this result

Re: National Hurling League 2017

My Point is that counties in a higher division, playing against better opposition, are in relegation. Then, a team that wins one game, in a lower division finishing 4th in that lower division get into a league q\f with teams playing in a division higher. It like make the top four of the europa leagu...

Re: National Hurling League 2017

Dublin were vs Tipperary this year but for the last few years Dublin have recorded victories over tipperary. Clare lost this year by 7 points to Tipp. Hardly out of their depth. Offaly were cannon fodder today

Re: National Hurling League 2017

A farce of a league where a team like offaly make Q/F and teams like clare and dublin hurl a relegation match. Absolutely out of their depth vs Tipperary.
