Dublin a lot further down the road development wise.
This year has been a great year.
What's coming behind to add to the senior team would be a cause for concern.

Were this group managed badly? Was there much if any expectation other than what occurred? Not sure in the coming years there be much improvement.

Very good win, could have gone either way. Was very even right up to the 55th minute. In the end offaly could have by even more and could easily had two more goals. Might finish 3rd and kilkenny could be knocked out.

Offaly 17 points, Antrim 4-14. 2nd tier final.

They review squads and source mentors and players for development squads in tandem with coaching staff within the county board.. have a input into the appointment of minor and u20 mgts along with the central Committee of chairman, operation manager , county games manager etc.

You mentioned ...

What's the issue?
There is s director of football and hurling.
Delan Kelly and either Tony ryan or martin ryan from Drumcullen.

Personally I think it does no good to either code to have duals. Your getting an average version of the potential player they could be. Trying to do both at underage for clubs is perfectly fine and I would say benefit s the player. At County level, it needs to be knocked on the head. It's quite ...

To state again. You don't miss any club hurling or football if you are on a development squad. Only from minor up would you not be playing club.

The biggest problem in Offaly at the moment, across both codes, is that too many players are being brought into development squads.

There are far too many young lads not actually playing games because all they are doing is training. Once upon a time, it was the very best players who were called ...

I think mgt just hanging around waiting to see what JK does.


Correct me if I’m wrong, but Johnny P left, Hughie Hannon left and is with Kilcormac and Tony Gleeson is with Kilcormac/Offaly seniors?

That doesn’t leave too many of the management who are waiting around except one man…

Hughie ...

I think mgt just hanging around waiting to see what JK does.

Wait till next year.

More often than not the B team will beat the A team. Heard it multiple times. "A" players know that they are starting bar maybe 1 or 2 and b players desperate to impress.

Reading reports galway could have scored 5-30. 4 points down with 10 to go was very good going all considered. Reality is Galway know they are going to a leinster final. They ll beat wexford and kildare handy. They are already planning for the all ireland series knockouts.

In fairness, most teams do match ups ahead of positions. Way game as gone. The big test is vs wexford and then kildare. As it always was going to be. Dublin bet kildare handy enough. Kilkenny will best offaly by a similar scoreline as Galway. They fairly whipped wexford. Beat wexford and the last ...
