Re: Offaly Minor Football and Hurling 2023

I agree with you to a point. But last year we were beaten well. We have a very good team this year but other years we most certainly would struggle but at least our players are been exposed to a very high standard of hurling. You're missing the point. Nothing to do with Offaly being strong this yea...

Re: Offaly Minor Football and Hurling 2023

10 point win in the end for the combined schols hurling team over Goiod Counsel. They will face St. Kierans in the final. I think its farcical really allowing a county team compete against schools. The players who trained all year for their school being denied a chance to compete for their school in...

Re: Club football managers 22/23

Someone posted above that Ballinabrackey have a better backer (or something to that effect) than Sarsfields... while not fully up to speed with both clubs I would have thought Sarsfields with its big standing in Kildare would be better off financially than Ballinabrackey..I am of the opinion that P...

Re: League & Championship hurling 2022

It's all just semantics really wether you call it Senior B or Intermediate. It is the second tier of hurling in the county plain and simple.
We should have championships with 8 teams per grade based on the current standards in Offaly.

That only tells them how many are travelling on each bus being organised by clubs. There will be many thousands more coming along with parents.

Re: Minors hurlers 2022

I'm travelling to the game on my own plus two kids.

I was talking to another person travelling on their own plus 3 kids.

That is 7 prople going in on two tickets.

There will be thousands doing likewise.

This is an absolute monumental fcuk up on the part of the GAA.

Re: Minors hurlers 2022

The organisers are taking a hostage to fortune that the distance will thin out the interest. ' I was surprised at the arrangement. By all means allow children free, but make them need a ticket to give some sense that they are of monitoring what is being sold for each stand. At the Leinster final, t...

Re: Minors hurlers 2022

I think the ticketing structure is a little bit crazy for the final. There will be a huge amount of families travelling with kids for this game. As you cant even buy a u16 ticket you will potentially have a problem as the stands fill up if the GAA are planning to sell tickets up to or near the capac...

Tipperary won 3-0 on penalties tonight.

Re: Kids dropped from development squad

Delighted this has blown up in Kelly's face. He's a guy on a power trip. Wins an All Ireland and thinks he can dictate what he likes. Never mind letting lads play soccer he won't let them play hurling. Kids need to be allowed experience as many disciplines as possible and afterall they are supposed ...

Re: Offaly Hurlers 2022

The improvements at underage are there to be seen in hurling if you're willing to look closely enough. Go back 7 or 8 years ago and we were regularly taking beatings from Laois, Carlow, Westmeath and struggling with Kildare and Meath. We now have pushed our noses back infront of these counties. Play...
