If our defence can play like they did in thurles we will be hard to beat, but if we are without kenny then it will be a tall order.
Our record in wexford park is very poor in the league so we will need a full strength team if we are going to come through

Re: SHC weekend May7-May9
The system put in place is similar to kilkenny. It is designed to give more games to players in a championship format. It is a better system than last year as for example when shamrocks lost their first round they knew they were as good as out. This years system keeps everyone going through the summ...

Re: Championship games on week nights
Absolutely horrible. I hate weekday championship matches. You have to work during the day, spend anything up to 2 hours travelling. You stuff a dinner into you before you leave and the amptmosphere at the game is dead. This all leads into what will probably be a flat, poor game and then the support...

Re: Leinster or Munster
Isn't sport strange. A few years ago it was Leinster who were on form coming into the semi, but lost, and we have the exact same scenario yesterday but with munster, and this time they get stuffed.
Hopefully yesterday wasn't Leinsters final

Re: Offaly v Wexford - NHL Division 2 Final (03/05/2009)
I said it at the start of the year that promotiion from Div 2 was the most important thing for us this year and thankfully it has been delivered. However now that goal has been achieved i hope the players dont take their eye off the ball for the rest of the year. We have a terrible record in Wexford...

Re: KILKENNY 4.18 OFFALY 1.8
I was in Nolan Park yesterday and i would say fair play to the young lads who gave it all. The first goal was a real sickner and i think we should have had a free in just before the ball broke to kilkenny who then sent it down the field where the goalie unfortunately spilled it. When the next high b...

Re: "Defeat" of the proposed rules change.
I wouldn't go as far as to ban the handpass in football, but i would look at the tackle instead. I think we should try to have the same tackle rule as used in the internatonal rules, which would mean players would be less likely to dilly dally on the ball and pass it over and back across the pitch, ...

Re: Leinster or Munster
Well its time now for a lot of lads to nail their colours to the mast. I'll be watching this in my local and it will be interesting to see how many of my fellow Offaly men will be supporting Munster. Even more interesting, if Leinster win, will the munster supporters get behind Leinster in the final

Re: Under 21 Club Hurling Championship
I would have to agree with you POTH. I cant believe the way theses fixtures are coming up. I would have gladly gone and paid my €5 or whatever it was last night, instead the county board will loose out on me and many others. Maybe they put it on Radio 3 but how many people can listen to that drivel

Re: League more important than championship
I would also be of the opinion that league is priority for 09. On the U21 management it is getting beyond ridiculous not to have a management in place. Perhaps Croke Park might intervene like they did in cork an set up a head hunting committee... sorry i forgot that they are only interested in the b...

Re: Offaly V Down Hurling
Should it come to pass, Wexford will have no one to blame but themselves. If you are good enough to get out of the Division then your results should reflect it. I dont think that Wexford would have thought at the start of the year that they could potentially have to rely on Offaly getting a result V...

Re: Offaly u-21 hurling team
I wouldnt't dream of trying to name a team yet. I am a great believer in form though. its a pity that there is no management in place as they could have a provisional panel of say 30-35 and then get out and see them in competitive action withe their clubs. i know the standard is way below intercount...
