Re: Allianz Hurling League Roinn 1B 2016

What is the story with relegation. How many go down? do bottom 2 play play off or does bottom team have play off with tier below winner? Offaly will struggle to win any game in this division. Kerry will not be simple though you'd hope we'd take them. We cannot take any team lightly. After Kerry, mos...

Re: Offaly Schools Hurling

Its a sign of the times plain. it is a direct correlation with the level of hurler we have produced over last 10 years at development squad level. Our system is poor if not non existent. Outside Offaly, Westmeath and Laoise would be considered way ahead of us in terms of developing players. The youn...

Re: U21 football management 2016

That is an absolute pasting. While Longford would b strong at this level, no Offaly team should take a beating like that from Longford. Were Offaly at full strength? I see we still qualify for an away semi v westmeath given we won the first two games.

Re: Walsh Cup 2016

Context is everything lads. Yes there was a great crowd and lads need to feel supported in a county jersey so all Walsh cup games in my mind should always be played in Birr - along possibly smaller leage games (Kerry etc) with more county finals (not senior) and more senior club games in general. It...

Re: O'Byrne Cup 2016

Thought Offaly had the better ball players today by good distance. Kildare physicality was fairly impressive even if they have limited enough lads football wise playing. If Offaly can improve the athleticism and get a bit more cohesion in forwards we'd have won handy. Missed large amount of score ch...

Re: Offaly Schools Hurling

I would imagine it is all the schools combined bar Birr who always play in the A competition on their own. Not sure about players but would assume theyd have bulk of county minor team outside of Birr lads.

Re: Brian Carroll retires

Hard to fathom Conor Mahon not making an Offaly panel? or was it Con Mahon that played at corner back for KK last year that didn't make it?

Re: K/K appointment

Have been thinking about this lately. Offaly people seem to be now in a state of mind where they no longer feel they are as knowledgeable about hurling as Kilkenny folk. It isnt that long ago to a time where Kilkenny feared drawing Offaly in Leinster as Offaly regularly had the upper hand during the...

Re: K/K appointment

Will be interesting to see how Danny Owens gets on with Westmeath minors - has developed a big rep with KK so will be interesting to see how he gets on at inter-county. Could be the next Offaly manager. Kevin Martin has enhanced his reputation winning this year with Clogh Ballycolla in Laois and the...

Re: Leinster Club Championship

just as well it was called off. the game would have been destroyed by the wind yesterday. It may not have been solely a co board decision. As said already, leinster GAA run both of these competitions.

Re: Club Championships 2016

I think this year proved to a degree that 1 group of 8 doesn't work! 2 x 4 will be run over shorter period with more meaning to each game! To me it is better that teams enter a competition with a genuine chance of winning it! That wasnt happening for many teams in last 10 years. St Brigids and Walsh...

Re: 2016 Offaly Players of the Year

Absolutely, Sean Doyle deserves the accolade. While it is unusual to have a non county senior win the senior award, Edenderry would have won nothing this year without Doyle. He was the key forward in the county final and in the Leinster game v Rathnew he was on fire kicking 7 or 8 points from play. ...
