Re: Offaly Intermediate Club Hurling Championship 2023
Re fixed again now I see, it’s now in Birr even closer to Carrig and further away from Edenderry. Arrah they may as well go the whole hog and play it in Thurles! Playing it at a main venue like Birr might lessen the blow for Edenderry but still it's a shocking mileage imbalance whatever way you loo...

Re: Offaly Intermediate Club Hurling Championship 2023
Edenderry V Carrig/Riverstown is on in Kinnitty on the 22nd of July. Now how in the name of God almighty is that a fair venue distance wise? Why not fix the game for Rhode for Clonbullogue so. That's now an essentially away game for Edenderry. I assume they'll contest this? I thought every effort wa...

Re: On this day 25 years ago
Sure we can poke fun at ol Babs all night if we want. But a mere 20 years after his rant Offaly were deemed so poor they were no longer even permitted to participate in the Leinster championship, a situation that remains to this day. Keating reckoned they weren't listening, were running around aimle...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2023
The great Noel McGrath is getting his excuses in early :lol:. He knows well like his buddy in at #14 he's washed up, the poor hoor wants more water! To hell with this talk of "a free shot" at them or "a respectable showing", go out da fuck and beat them. Westmeath turned around a...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2023
If kerry were to win joe mcdonagh, they would play bottom team in munster in a playoff. Incorrect. Kerry go straight into the Munster Hurling Championship should they ever win the Joe McDonagh Cup. Motion 19 was passed at Congress in February just gone by a 98.2% majority. In order for that to beco...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2023
A couple of points about Wexford. If Wexford get relegated the only ace card that may save them is to expand Leinster to 8 teams. 7 teams won’t work. Helpfully for them, Offaly and Carlow are top 2 promotion candidates. The stroke that may get pulled is to keep Wexford up and promote both Offaly an...

Re: U20 hurlers 23
I see online capacity is 21,000 - I wonder is it still 21,000 or since reduced ? I believe it's 11,000 now. The stand is comfortable enough with decent views but there can't be more than 3,000 - 3,500 seats max. By the way the terrace the far side of the ground doesn't have a particularly good vant...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2023
Offaly must be doing something right, Kerry knowing they couldn't out hurl them brought the extra physical stuff to the table today and guess what? That didn't work either and resulted in an 11 point defeat. Very comfortable win today albeit against limited opposition. What management will do next w...

Re: U20 hurlers 23
3 serious enough injury stoppages on Saturday to allow treatment to Offaly players and they had to rely on the Galway doctor and physio to assist and take the lead in 2 of the cases. It's not good enough. If Galway can bring a doctor we should have one available in Tullamore. Not looking to harp on ...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2023
Hang on! I'm not sure when the final of the Joe Mc is on. Cant find it in the fixtures and assumed it was before the Leinster final but if thats the case then there is a 4 week delay from round 5 to the final so that can't be right. Final must be on the 28th of May so and has been decoupled from the...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2023
Im not sure of how the draw works. For some reason it’s in my head that there actually isn’t a draw and the Joe Mc winner’s automatically get the Munster #3. Im not a 100% on that for 2023, though it definitely was the case in a recent year. According to the GAA website fixtures Frank it's the othe...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2023
If we won the Joe McDonagh a crack off of Dublin/Wexford would be nice!! I'm jumping way ahead of myself here I know but would a win be out of the question? It would be in Tullamore and If the Joe McDonagh is won there would be massive interest and a huge crowd......Laois led from start to finish v...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2023
It was never about the capacity of the venue. Offaly supporters generally only come when something big is up for grabs and most have no interest in games like this and it was proven out today. Kildare were in panic mode after their mini collapse in Portlaoise 2 weeks ago and their total capitulation...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2023
Is Athy still a thing? It is and would be a possibility as would Conneff Park in Clane. Given the poor travelling support our hurlers get and the fact that Kildare have come back to earth with a bang I'm not so sure crowd congestion will be a major factor anymore with this fixture. GAA may well com...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2023
JimBwobb you beat me to it. I'm shocked at some of the stuff I've read here this evening. What more do people want this team to do? Played 7, won 6 & drew 1 in a very competitive Division 2A. With the exception of the Derry game all others were 50/50 affairs. Yes we know there are limitations bu...
