Re: Offaly v Kilkenny

i agree with tox we do have good hurlers but our problem for me is the style of play . we seem to be trying to play a running game with a sweeper. no club in offaly plays like that . we dont have many players suited to playing a running game . look at limerick yesterday the moved the ball quickly in...

Re: What the papers read!

Re: OFFALY Hurling 2014

it looks like b whelahan has still to settle on a team never mind his best 15. i guess he will play rory at full back morkam at centre and a running midfield . i cant see any stopper or man marker on his team , the camros lads always said whelahan was abusive and drained him of any self belief .offa...

Re: Offaly v Kilkenny

Re: Offaly v Kilkenny

think we all agree that thinks gone down hill dramaticly under b whelahan but we still have to play kilkenny in a few weeks . it all about damage control now . there no point in allowing young lads to go out to get hammered . i would go with a big strong experence team like this and move the ball qu...

Re: Offaly v Kilkenny

Re: Offaly Hurling Championships 2014

great win for belmont without c egan and d kenny . could belmont be the dark horse of that group and edge out clareen for third place? i think kk will top this group with cooldery second and clareen and belmont fighting for third spot. i think st rynagh will top the other group with birr second and ...
