Offaly v Clare in Tullamore This is our last home game and we need to maintain our 100 per cent home record in order to secure our place in division 3 and also give ourselves an outside chance of promotion. We have away matches against Westmeath and Limerick to come. Those teams are currently joint ...

Full Time - Tipperary 2-11, Offaly 0-12

We were 9 points down at half time (2:08 to 0-05)

Like the Kildare game this was a game we would not have expected to win.

Last 3 games against Clare, Westmeath and Limerick will decide our fate. All capable of being won or lost.

Full time result from tonight - Kildare 2-14 : Offaly 1-06

Disappointing result , at half time we were only 3 pts down 1-04 to 0-04

I think this football thread is a grown up mature adult compared to the hurling equivalent which is full of teenage nonsense about where is best to play our hurling matches !!

This could turn out to be a very tight battle for second spot and promotion, assuming Kildare as expected win the division. The various draws are keeping us in the hunt. If we beat Clare at home and target Limerick away and pick up a point somewhere else (maybe in Thurles in the next match) we might...

Agree with POTH that the Laois game is an important one. A win would be great for confidence with another big one with Kerry to come. If we slip up in the championship group and finish second we will have Laois again. A win there would put us in Leinster championship proper in 2017 and put Laois bac...

Just watching the excellent Seo Spoirt on TG4. Ger Loughnane had some positive things to say, for a change I suppose, about Offaly hurling. Described us as being "organised for the first time in a long time", that Eamonn Kelly is "doing a great job there". We are "far more p...

Full time - Kildare 1-12 : Offaly 1-08 Was listening on Kildare radio and it seemed we had them rattled a bit in last 10 minutes having been 9 points down half way through second half. No real damage done In terms of the overall league. There were important wins for Longford and Sligo which makes ou...

Our chances of staying up will rest I think on points we can pick up at home to Sligo and Clare and away to Limerick. 3 more points to add to the 2 from today might be enough.

One point from the trips to Newbridge, Mullingar or Thurles would be a massive bonus but unlikely.

Full time Offaly 0-12, Longford 0-10.

Outscored Longford 0-5 to nil in second half. Conditions were bad it seemed from listening to radio coverage.

Important to win home games especially when we only have 3 with 4 away.

Good luck to Pat Flanagan and the team today.

Consolidation is key for the next couple of years I think.

We need league stability and avoid yo-yoing between divisions 3 and 4 and of course we need to target a Leinster Championship win.

I also see that Kilkenny will be represented in the Junior final with Glenmore beating Dungourney from Cork by 3-10 to 1-11. It didn't help the Cork team by having to play with 14 men from 23 minutes into the first half. Glemmore play Eoghan Rua from Derry in the final with Bennetsbridge playing Abb...

POTH - thanks, a pretty dismal record indeed !

Where we are playing our home games seems to exercise the thoughts of many posting here rather than the real issues.

I despair.

Just wondering since the 1998 AI final how many times have we beaten Kilkenny at senior level ?

Was yesterday the first time since 1998 , surely not ?

Draws were made tonight - Hurling - IF we win the qualifier group we play Galway in quarter final. IF we finish second in qualifier group we play Laois. Prize here might be to finish second and get a chance for revenge against Laois. Football. Longford again !! Winners to play Westmeath. Could be wo...
