Re: Offaly v Longford National League

I have to go along with some of the things mentioned about Dan Currams. I know he is a skillful player but I have been at alot of games also where he did not want to know about it when the going got tough. Its easy to say he is young townman, but I think he has been around long enough now to be show...

Brawls and Disciplinary action

Since it is a big topic in the GAA news the last couple of days I would be curious to hear what fellow gaels feel of the incident in Portlaoise at the weekend and in particular what ye feel is appropriate punishment. There has been calls for Derrytresk to be thrown out of the competition. This I fee...

Re: Offaly Senior Inter County Hurling 2012

new management or not westmeath should not be beaten offaly by 7 points in any competition even if the coolderry boys were missing. i know its only the walsh cup but westmeath look like a team that are training and that want to improve, its great to see them putting the effort in at underage and fa...

Re: Lost in the Bog

I would have to agree with the large majority who are against this. There is absolutely no way effectively a new adult club be set up and walk straight into senior championship football. I know from chatting with alot of people from various clubs that this could lead to alot of resentment as there i...

Re: No competition for CB positions!!

I really do hope some new faces step up. The current board is really doing GAA in the county alot of harm. Has anybody any potential candidates in mind that might have some interested in getting involved? In fairness to the likes of Mick Sheridan, they make it clear to Pat Teehan he is making a bad ...

Re: No competition for CB positions!!

Yes the whole thing needs to be freshened up. I do not like knocking these people as they have given their free time to look after Offaly GAA. But if I am to call it as it is then I would have to say that the CB needs a good shake up. Teehan to me is too stubborn for the role. And when you have stub...

Re: Intermediate Hurling

Well done to Brosna. Well deserved win and good to see them make the return to Senior straight away. Serious work been done down in the clubs of Ballycumber, Tubber, and Erin rovers. There appears to be a big interest in hurling over there and the hard work is paying off. As for the final, in fairne...

Re: Offaly Senior Football Club Championship 2011

Would it be fair to say the current championship is as poor as we have seen since the 90's. Rhode are no where near the team they were. Clara even minus players still comfortably made the semi final stage. And then you have Edenderry and gracefield who have been relegation battlers in recent years a...

Re: Intermediate Hurling

It was a good result alright, wouldnt be getting carried away though its very hard to know what kind of form coolderry are in. Rynaghs seem to be going well but Coolderry drew with them last year at this level so may be able to put up a challenge in the qtr final. To be honest I David hasnt togged ...

Re: Intermediate Hurling

BOTN, that was an impressive result for Coolderry last night. Surely if they give it a right go they would be well capable of beating a good Rynaghs team. Would David Dooley not have been higher up the pecking order than Seamus O' Connor? O' Connor is a decent young hurler but Dooley is a right good...

Re: Intermediate Hurling

I take your point backofthenet but the fact only 17 togged out for the intermediate says something. Players are being held back. I had a Coolderry lad giving out stink about it in work the other day. 17 is a terrible number for an intermediate team that would have a good chance of playing for honour...

Re: Intermediate Hurling

Timber , where are you getting your "coolderry not really intrested in developing young players " line from. Can you inform me with some evidence to back this up, or are you just spouting rubbish to get a jibe in at a certain club? Tacmot will you relax. There was no jibe at your club. Of...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurling Club Championship 2011

Shinrone eased to a 1-19 to 0-11 victory in the end. 2 sendings off in the second half, one for each team. I think it was William Spain (no.3) for Drumcullen (it was coming in fairness) and I don't know who got sent off for Shinrone as I had no programme. I don't think there was any. Drumcullen als...

Re: Intermediate Hurling

Coolderry players wont play intermediate because of the junior. They think they have a better chance of winning that. Banagher are very strong but should lose some more players to senior. Brosna Gaels should be the strongest team however especially with the emergence of Chris McDonald as an Offaly ...
