Offaly to win football, and lose hurling.

Just to remind GDFTP that hurling is very much alive in Killeigh parish. The parish differs from neighbouring Dangean, as it is divided into hurlig, Killeigh/Killurin area, and football in the Geashill/ Cloneygowan area. Even then Killeigh and Killurin compete as separate clubs, with Raheen fielding...

Kerry guy. Could Paul Galvin model a 5 in a row teeshirt?. He says he wants to study fashion in DIT. That could be his project.

BNM man mentioned some Rhode absentees, can I include Martin Heavey and Charlie Conroy as doubtful!!

Is it time to ditch the O'Byrne Cup and similar competitions? I can't see the point in playing these games, with depleted squads, and paying €10 for the dubious privilege. The GAA should revert to playing the leagues in November/ December, and resuming in February.That would do away with the ban on ...

Thanks BNM man for advising change of venue, OCP must be unplayable. Wonder if game will go ahead in present weather?, must keep an ear to the Radio in morning.

Just on Fargo Boyle's point, Quarrymount won 2 titles at the turn of the 20th century, the area is just inside the Laois border, south of Killeigh, obviously boundarires were a bit looser then! In the first decade of the last century Geashill were prominent in Offaly football, contsting and winning ...

Enda did a good job in pulling FG into shape after the 2002 election blitz, and has made them serious contenders for Government. With a different leader could they get that elusive overall majority as the largest party for the first time since the foundation of the state? Not sure I'd agree that Ke...

There is a lot of speculation on the make up of the next Dail, after the next election. It will be an FG/Labour coalition, with Fianna Fail taking a big hit from the electorate. It will be interesting to see how Eamonn Gilmore performs in Government, now that he has to deliver a policy, rather than ...

Posted this up on GAAboard, but the same thing applies.... In Offaly I would still expect 2 FF to return, probably Cowen with Moloney. Fleming will lose out, but sadly a national vote of 20% would still translate to 35% here, and that will push two of them over the line. FG will actually struggle t...

BNM. Would that 'Rye Malone' by any chance be Roy Malone, of Rhode and once Offaly??.
It lost in the Midlands 103 translation, did he score a'gold'?

I heard that Rynagh's won by 6 points. Any idea of the score, type of game etc.
I agree that this competition, and the others should be well finished by now.

Kilcormac/Kiloughey had enough chances to win that game, but didn't take them.
They should move on, and let the final go ahead.

Clara must havethought at half time they were in with a great chance, they were level and would had wind advantage in the second period. Their forwards seemed to be outnumbered by Rhode, who gradually took control,and took their chances. Niall McNamee was excellent, and picked off some great scores....

Concrete. Have you hardened in your opinion that Tullamore can progress in the SFC?, (sorry about that bad joke) Having seen Rhode and Clara struggle in their quarter finals recently, I think they are both beatable. Their respective backlines are shaky, and if opposing forwards take their chances, s...
