I just want to pick up on this. Hurling has become a team game in recent years, as opposed to a game for individuals where yo 'bate' the ball as long and as far as you can and it was up to the next fella to win his own ball, no matter how it came to him. Item: the series of high, lobbing, dropping ...

Problem lies with how badly underage has been neglected going back to the early 90's. The only successful underage teams that I can remember was in 2000 with minors and under 21s winning Leinster. Both beating Kilkenny along the way. Two very decent sides with a lot of passionate players within both...

A right mess. This has to be rock bottom.

If the reason they lost yesterday was down to attitude and work rate then there is a big bloody problem that needs to be addressed. Can we stop fussing over where Offaly hurlers play their games now and concentrate on how we can get some sort of pride back in Offaly hurling and the respect this coun...

Hard luck to coolderry. A good hurling club. I felt coolderry would struggle badly. They have a very small team particularly in attack. Against a big physical fit team they were always going to struggle especially in horrible conditions like today. And some key men are not as fit as you would like. ...

The standard is dreadful. Rynaghs, Brigids, and surprisingly Ferbane are very weak. You look at Rhode who are nowhere near the team they were and they are still cruising along without much effort. Edenderry, Clara, and Tullamore not as strong as they have been at stages over the last 15 years but st...

Offaly team named Offaly (All-Ireland SFC Qualifiers Round 2A): Alan Mulhall; Brian Darby, Paul McConway, Cian Donohue; Niall Darby, Johnny Moloney, Joseph O’Connor; Conor McNamee, Niall Smith; Peter Cunningham, Graham Guilfoyle, Anton Sullivan; Bernard Allen, Nigel Dunne, William Mulhall. No Niall...

Time to get a fishing rod or something cause id rather be anywhere but near an offaly match with crap like that. Embarrassing.

Its pretty embarrassing that our footballers could not beat that longford team. Massive problems.

Id be looking at the likes of clareen for example. They stuttered their way to victory the other night against a team who are in chaos and juggling football championship aswell. Clareen are a team training only for hurling which is a massive advantage on its own. Yet they struggle badly to get a win...

Yes its nice to win a title here and there but if a team is in senior hurling they should have 20 hurlers that they are willing to play. A few clubs in the county hold players every year to win an auld junior championship. On a totally different note, I wonder how weak is senior hurling in the count...

What happened ferbane? Would have expecting a comfortable win from that game. Anybody at it.

Townman is taking a fair few slaps and Fifitrixibelle hasnt even started yet. God help Townman Sunday evening or Monday morning when it really starts. Please dont start the anti OCP crap again. Its a top class facility and Birr is not fit for hosting these games. Get over it and move on. As for the ...

Fair point allstar2010. Id say its the draw both tipp and cork feared.. Little bit of a step up on antrim for our boys I would say.

Best of luck to Clodiagh Gaels. Serious candidates for the intermediate hurling this year.
