Re: End of year hurling standings

[/quote] On the point about the changing of the minor grades, there I was flat out wrong. I saw the motion that was up for debate, I knew it passed, and I missed the bit about delaying it for a year. So my apologies for tha t, I already had one club selector ringing me in a small bit of distress ab...

Re: Offaly Senior A Hurling Championship 2023

Two very contrasting styles, kk with no plan, just hit the ball up the field. OLG played the ball smart, to the man. Did Adam screeney hit the ball in open play? Not his fault as there seemed like no plan to give him the ball he needed. Kk mgt very poor and the lack of tactics with such a talented ...

Re: New club football format

Why was it not advised to the clubs beforehand so they could have meaningful discussions at club level and the delegates would vote thereafter on the club’s decision (similar to rhr u17/18 vote). It meant the the delegates were asked to vote on something that had not been discussed or advised in adv...

Re: New club football format

I’d say that this decision will come back to bite Michael Duignan when he runs for president.

Whilst it’ll only take one year for everyone to realise what a ridiculous structure it is, I don’t think it’ll be forgotten in a year.

Re: New club football format

I presume the 4 losing Q-Finalists go into the relegation semi-finals?? If so, we could have the farcical situation where a team wins it’s group and gets relegated!! Everyone qualifying is the adult version of a primary school sports day. While it does seem a bit nonsensical, it does favour rhe sma...

Re: Changing of Underage grades and Separation from adult

Only way this will work is if Offaly decide to completely preclude U18s from playing adult - or at least are not allowed play adult until minor team is exited from championship. They need to decouple underage from adult level or there will be serious issues over fixtures. Any other way is recipe fo...

Re: Offaly Senior A Hurling Championship 2023

Also, the ability of James Gorman to contest the high ball in the goalmouth is a useful option for other forwards to feed off. Could Offaly U20s do something similar next year if the channels for the threaded ball to Screeney are blocked? I think James Gorman is overage for the 20’s next year……….

Re: Junior A Hurling Championship 2023

Ballinamere 0-13 Brosna Gaels 0-7 Birr 0-16 Gracefield 0-4 As predicted Ballinamere & Birr win the Junior finals today. Both teams were the best in their grade and deserve to go up. Interesting to see how both fare out next year Brosna Gaels never got going today. The missed goal chance in the ...

Re: Offaly Senior Football Team - Championship 2023

The appointment makes sense. Declan won't need to spend the same time learning the scene the way an outside manager would. This helps in the compressed county season calendar. On top of that, there are several players out there who can potentially return to the panel, and Kelly will also have a goo...
