Aye. Fully agree with that.

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

Also good to see a decent Offaly crowd at the game and they made plenty of noise too.

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

We’d have taken both the result and the performance before the game. Lots of pointers in the game; the amount of consecutive wides KK had early on, the amount of excellent saves Mark Troy made in the last ten minutes, Kiely going off was a huge blow to us albeit we settled well enough again afterwar...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

Going very well albeit Kilkenny had about 7 wides in the first half. But overall hugely positive showing.

Going to be a long second half though.

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

Obviously gutted we didn’t get the win but I’m delighted with our first two performances. I didn’t travel to Wexford this evening but I’m sitting here thinking I’m going to go to Nowlan Park in two weeks time. And I’m sure I won’t be alone either thinking that tonight. It’s huge progress and we were...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024

Anybody there with any thoughts. Coverage on 103 was very poor to say the least. Very little info from the game on local radio. That is a problem with Mids 103 Sports. Turned on mid r3 when I got into car in Tullamore. OffLy game was still playing in Antrim with one point in it whereas Westmeath ga...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

A very credible Offaly display today. The two Stephen Bennett goals were such a killer, especially the first one given it came out of a free that wasn’t lifted. Cillian Kiely’s repeated wides in the first half didn’t help either. Overall, a lot of positives with Ciaran Burke, Jason Sampson, Catal ki...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024

If we had taken John Furlong’s goal chance it might be a different result tonight. Brilliant run by JF but he had Cormac egan inside and should have given it to him. Think we were a point up at that stage and playing well.

Then of course they went down the field and got their goal. Game over then.

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

I see the senior hurlers have declined a ‘holiday’ and will put the funds (60,000 euro reported) into training. Whether it’s a statement of commitment, intent or just a PR stunt, I applaud the team and all involved. It’s a very positive message. UP OFFALY!!! To be honest, I’m not so sure it’s a goo...
