Re: LSFC Longford V Offaly Friday May 16th 2014

Does anyone know why Longford are at home? Was it because they were drawn out of the hat first? Have we got a home and away arrangement with them and it's our turn to travel? Have we just entered into a home and away arrangement with them from 2014 on and we are travelling first? Also the winners ar...

Re: Offaly county team managements 2014

According to Brian Lowry on Twitter, John Troy and Ger Coughlan have been confirmed as Brian Whelehan's selectors. And this is taken from Hoganstand.com New Offaly hurling manager Brian Whelahan will be bringing Ger Coughlan and John Troy on board as selectors. Like Whelahan, both men are Faithful C...

Re: Leinster club hurling and football 2013

Took a trip down to Pearse Stadium yesterday to take in the Galway final and to say I left underwhelmed would be quite the understatement. While the conditions were heavy the actual weather held up well so it was disappointing to see such a poor game being offered up. It was if a just about average ...

Re: Supporters Club Revival

Was just thinking there with the advent of multiple sponsors now being allowed on GAA jerseys it mightn't be a bad idea for "Club Faithful" to try and get their logo on the county jersey for 2014. It might do something to raise their profile. A lot of teams are adding the "opt for lif...

Offaly Senior Hurling Championship Structure 2014

I was just listening to a soundcloud on the Midlands 103 site featuring some current hurlers and journalists discussing our championship structure and ALL were agreed that the current system is not providing the platform for an optimum hurling championship in the county. It seems that the main suppo...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurling Championship 2013

I have to say I really enjoyed today’s county final. While the final margin may have been 7 points it certainly wasn’t a true reflection on the game’s proceedings. In fact when the Birr management look back on the video of the game they will see they had a massive amount of chances during the game t...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurling Championship 2013

Mea Culpa vis a vis Birr's final appearance in 2011. As a Kinnitty man I attempt to put all Coolderry's county final wins in a dark box, placed in a spot my memory can never access it. Regarding James Geraghty I thought he struggled against Belmont and didnt really strike me as a natural corner back...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurling Championship 2013

The writing was on the wall for Rynagh's when they only managed 1-02 from play in the first half playing with the gale. And the goal had a large amount of good fortune about it as it came back off the post when Breeder Mullins should really have collected it first time rather than trying to shepherd...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurling Championship 2013

I know Kinnitty have nothing to play for but it wouldn't surprise me if they went out and beat 'Rynaghs. With the pressure off it's like the match that Kinnitty could hurl well in and 'Rynghs in my estimation are not County Final winner material. That would leave Coolderry into first and Belmont int...

Senior Hurling Power Rankings

Just thought I'd put up what I thought would be my power rankings for the clubs prior to the last round of group fixtures and and Quarter Finals 1. Kilcormac / Killoughey - Definitely the team to beat at the moment. Carrying the momentum of last season's campaign and easily beating all opposition 2....

Re: Championship Structures

Plain, I was just reading your post there and your point on two teams on level points got me to thinking (I'm going to use Kinnitty, Lusmagh, Birr and Drumcullen in this example) Hypothetical situation with score difference being the differential when teams finish level on points: Kinnitty play Lusm...
