Re: Offaly Club Hurling C'ship 2016

Birr is a good venue at the moment and the crowd last week was large enough. Long queues to get in though. Only 4 turnstiles were open. Also for elderly people you have a bit of a walk to the stand. In the winter months staying dry watching matches is paramount for spectators. I would love the semi ...

Re: Offaly Club Hurling C'ship 2016

Not alone did Tipperary contest the all Ireland semi this year, they also are the current munster club champions with commercials winning in 2015. They have won and lost minor all irelands , and contested an u21 all ireland. A small county like offaly should have a far tighter championship timetable...

Re: Hurling Plan, Whats the story?

It's good that a director of hurling has been appointed. That person does not need to be a hands on coaching. He needs to direct all the people who do the coaching and oversee the work. He himself should not be taking sessions or doing workshops. He should be making sure clubs are are doing the work...

Re: Offaly v Dublin Leinster under21 final, Weds 6th July

Final score 2 15 to 1 10 in favour of Dublin Poor game. Dublin took over in 2nd half scoring 2 11 to 4 points. One thing, offaly really put in a real shift in the first half but like the minors vs wexford completely ran out of steam. Dublin very powerful for the hour. Something offaly teams are goin...

Re: Offaly vs Wexford 2016 Hurling Qualifier - Saturday July

Both teams very poor. Wexford should have won by more. Faster and a lot more skillful than offaly. Officials fair bad with wexford peno. Under 21s up next. Cannot see a offaly win but you never know.
Dublin by 5 + points.

Re: MAYBE THERE IS HOPE FOR OFFALY HURLING

It is an a really good indication of the potential within the county. You have to have a pretty good set of players to win this type of competition.

Re: MAYBE THERE IS HOPE FOR OFFALY HURLING

Seems to be a really good competition. Good for offaly gaa and for all those who do so much work within the county to promote hurling and try to get lads to compete at the highest level. Just a little note of caution. The stronger counties were divided and not allowed to play any under 17s who were ...

Re: Offaly County Board Thread

To be honest I don't think so. Minor hurlers well bet. Had an easy run in the minor avoiding the three best teams. Wexford till the semi , Dublin and KK. Under 21 the same. Kildare and carlow to get to a leinster final potentially. Senior hurlers. Wins vs kerry, and very poor laois and carlow. Well ...

Re: Offaly v Carlow, Leinster round robin Saturday 7th May

I would say the new centre for offaly gaa is definitely going you be held up. Looks like the grass sown didn't take and had to be done again.

Re: Leinster MHC 2016

Despite the big winning margin at the end. Offaly ran wexford close for about 40 minutes. Faded very badly towards the end but overall showed real heart. Completely ran out of steam at the end of the game. Wexford very good. Dublin in final. Too close to call a winner in that.

Re: Offaly v Carlow, Leinster round robin Saturday 7th May

This is why offaly won't get any more funding from croke park, the Irish sports council or leinster council other than what is due to them. they can't simply not be trusted to do the right thing. There should be no more talk about the current Senior manager, senior players as reasons for offaly sen...

Re: Leinster MHC 2016

Offaly playing wexford. Going by results expect a wexford win by 9 points or more. But it's minors and young lads are unpredictable at the best of times. If offaly were to win it be a huge achievement. Offaly have had an easier run in so it's a golden opportunity if they are good enough to seize it.
