Keeper was excellent. Spain made some good dispossesions but a couple of very poor hand-passes and a few very silly fouls gave Galway 5 points. Ben C very slow in getting rid... Wing back gave Cooney freedom of the park in the first half, better second half. Pat C just not a defender,,,,, and the be...

I don't know what all the OY whinging is about on the likelihood of a heavy pitch at OCP. Laois are the more skilful team and conditions on Sunday should suit this top heavy OY team. The hurlers are no longer in Offaly, and having to go back and use the likes of Mahon and Currams speaks of the pove...

greenfield for County Sec ???????????????????

I’ll just chip in with what I found: Stephen Gavin made 3 championship appearances for the footballers in 1946 and 1947 while also lining out with the hurlers and being part of Birr’s 6-in-11 years of the 1940s. Courtesy of the mighty POTH. From June 14 2012 Does anyone have those 6 Birr teams? Whi...

This Forum is part of a website and it list all those who played hurling and football, League & Championship, for Offaly from apprx 1941. Stephen is listed with 6 appearances and as scoring 3 goals, or 3 for the hurlers & 3 for the footballers, in 46/47. Just google www.uibhfhaili.com and yo...

. There is a record of almost all Offaly Championship teams, in football, from the early Forties, compiled by a regular poster on this site, not me but he shared. In both 1946 & 47 Offaly footballers had 2 championship games. In 46 v Westmeath the midfielder, 8, was Stephen Gavin, with his club ...

Sam888 seems to believe that this is the time of year for a massive leg-pull. His comments at the top of this page bear no resemblance to the game I watched.... K-K were, unfortunately, totally outplayed but at least they lost to a fine hurling team....... I do hope that with 5 or 6 young guns/retu...

I seen that Tipperary are back training with a 40 man panel. Any word on Offaly hurlers back training yet? The footballers got together over two weeks ago and have trained and got gym program started. I just had a look at the article on the composition of the Tipp training panel and it says " ...

The statement "Primary: teachers need to take a more hands on approach. Having lads from the club coming to train a school is unacceptable." shows one of the major problems. Teachers are not obliged to coach/train teams/players be that GAA, Soccer , rugby or whatever, Some will, some wont ...

and in a great move, today for the first use of the pitches, Under 10 Hurlers, Footballers, Camogie players and Ladies Footballers from all the clubs in the county, apprx 900 children got to play mini games,,,,,, Well done to whoever came up with the idea. Adult Lads & Ladies will get plenty opp...

Opening tomorrow so surprising there is no great interest/excitement here.....

I think its brilliant to have such a facility and only hope it gets plenty of use by county teams and Dev Squads,,,,,,,,,

Looking forward to having a good look at it tomorrow.......

McIntyre on the Kerry minor team a couple of years ago: Grandson of PJ who played both football & hurling for Rynaghs & Offaly ( and later played both for Kerry) ?? PJ was a Garda in Kenmare and one son was also a Garda, who died in road accident.... Niall Claffey, Birr/Offaly hurler was a n...

Regarding Kevin Heffernan::: I was always told as a child that Kevin Heffernan was actually born in Offaly (Tullamore maternity Unit ??) and would be very aggressive when it was mentioned to him,,,, He had an intense dislike to that being discussed,,,,,,,,,,,, Was his Dad actually stationed in Porta...

What would the negatives of actually having separate hurling and football boards be? The major one is that in the past couple of years Congress ( the great unwashed from all over the country) voted to abolish separate Boards,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, So Galway does not now have a Football Board like they had a...
