Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

As has already been discussed here, we won't stay up and next year we will be in a revamped Division 2. (Called 1B). It will be the perfect competitive environment for a developing Offaly team. As things stand it would consist of: Dublin Westmeath Antrim Cork Offaly Carlow Laois Be some kick in the ...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024

Very disappointing if true, that Cian Farrell has left the panel. Has the potential to be the best forward in the county and the centre point of our forward line.

I clearly said St Patrick’s Day which is literally a month away.

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

Given that it's raining since January 2023 (with the exception of around three weeks in May/June last year), pitches are saturated, and have actually deteriorated in the last week. It'll be a while before double headers are a possibility again. On grass, that is. Heavy rain tomorrow (more of it) co...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

In the space of less than a month we are at home to both Clare in both hurling and football leagues. Surely someone somewhere in our CB brains trust might have thought about the possibility of a double header?

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

Indeed that is true. And all Divisions will operate a 2 up 2 down structure so relegation isn’t beyond the relams of possibilty.

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

Be very good developmental league for offaly, hopefully it will be named Div 1 and Div 2 etc and be a normal thing to do rather than 1 a, 1 b rubbish. It’s officially called Division 1B. Obviously to get it over the line they couldn’t have called it Division 2 because heaven forbid some of the bigg...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

I suppose this is the challenge these days , getting perspective. We all have views and grand, few words on a computer is easily done. I havn't been to any games yet and didnt see the Wexford game. We will struggle to make big strides in the short term , but the introduction of these successful U2o...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

Lads are getting totally carried away with themselves after last night. Yes it was nice to see them compete with a Liam McCarthy team and I actually thought the fitness levels were good, the pressing from our full forward line in particular was impressive. Kiely is an absolute warrior and needs pro...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

Dublin in Croke Park in 2018. Working back, beat Wexford down there in 2016. And a win over Limerick in 2015. When was the last time point we actually got a point in top flight hurling? Offaly beat Carlow in Division 1B in 2019. Carlow were Liam McCarthy that year. Played 4 games and lost them all ...
