Re: Final Four

Ferbane drew with Shamrocks in the minor semi in Mucklagh this evening. Ferbane are in the A 16s final, and Shamrocks are in the B final- who would want to in charge of fixtures!!!

Re: Fr Manning Cup

Won 3-14 to 5-5. Played super for the first 25 minutes of the first half, leading 2-5 to 1-1 at a stage, but a crazy 5 minute spell before half time saw Westmeath score 2-1 to wipe out the lead; draw match at half time. Offaly again dominated the first 20 minutes of the 2nd half, and opened up an 8 ...

Re: RTE commentary

Agree with views on commentary; one point that wound me up a bit was the ref bashing- granted Deegan made some baffling calls, I didn't think there was a foul, let alone a penalty for that incident (Spillane nearly had a seizure complaining Deegan was 25 yards behind the play; what does he expect, t...

Re: Fr Manning Cup

Draw match, 11 points each. Disappointing having led 7-3 at halftime having played very good stuff at times, but outplayed in the 2nd half, lost shape badly and lucky to pull it out of the fire in the end. Great character to rescue what would have been a sickening loss had it happened. All to play f...

Re: Fr Manning Cup

Big win against a very understrength Leitrim, 8-17 to 0-3; final next Wednesday night in Longford vs Westmeath.

Re: Fr Manning Cup

Match v Leitrim fixed for half 7 Thursday evening in Clara. Kildare beat Leitrim by 9 points on Monday, but by all accounts didn't have it all their own way, this is a highly rated Leitrim team.

Kildare 5-14
Roscommon 2-7

Big test for Offaly Saturday week, but capable if all players are fit and available.

Re: Fr Manning Cup

The Leitrim fixture is put back to August sometime, as far as I know, will put up the date when I know for sure. Kildare next, they're physically very imposing, but a full strength Offaly could beat them. Conor Dunne was called up from the 15s squad, had an excellent game last night.

Re: offaly minor footballers

U might get your club County Board Delegate ( if that is not you ) to push it at say the July meeting with a view to October ?????
To be honest, I hadn't the first clue about how these things work, but I'll do that!!

Re: offaly minor footballers

Here lads, could ye just set up a thread just for slagging each other off; entertaining and all as it does be sometimes, it doesn't contribute to the discussion about the topic. There are some very interesting points made about the underage structures in both hurling and football in Offaly; it seems...

Re: 2012 Leinster Club Championships

There is a growing problem with schools now because of the supervision and substitution issue. School management are under pressure to reduce costs, and therefore are reluctant to sanction games. The windows for when schools can play are becoming more and more limited, and they have to correspond in...
