Re: National Hurling League 2017

That wasn't the point you made last night, and you know it. And Offaly guys don't have the guts? You make yourself quite clear with that point. Very brave from an anonymous keyboard warrior somewhere in a warm sitting room, computer on the lap, mug of warm cocoa in your hand. Meanwhile the fellas y...

Re: National Hurling League 2017

I'd safely say that everyone in Kilcormac and Killoughey knows the reason they lost to Ballyhale that day was because five of their six forwards completely malfunctioned, they missed a heap of scoreable frees while the management looked on bewildered and didn't make the most obvious change which wa...

Re: National Hurling League 2017

Just saw the laois team for saturday ,Its simular to the team we beat easily last june ,i think the have 10 or 11 starting that play that day.
Whereas i think we had only 6 of the team that beat laois that day started last sunday .
How could we expect to develop with so many changes each year????

Re: National Hurling League 2017

This is the thing - it is going to take a generation from the time a plan is implemented for the benefits to be seen at Senior level. The damage has been done and too many teenagers have a deficit of skills. I was interested to hear Brian Carroll's interview with Will O'Callaghan on the radio. The ...

Re: National Hurling League 2017

Can somebody have a go at listing a current 'best Offaly 15' (including only players who are currently playing club or college hurling to a fitness standard approaching that which would be required at the top level and in their correct/best positions)? The reason I ask is so that those of us - like...

Re: National Hurling League 2017

Yeah, Our underage progress in a problem. P. Boland and Byrne picked the manager. Can't blame the Manger.. He knows nothing about Offaly Hurling.. . But if you have seen Galway hurler in the last two years you will know that there Full forward line is Huge. Putting out physical small Lads vs that f...

Re: National Hurling League 2017

Best of luck to offaly today ,a decent preformance will be a bonus in my opinion but really the Laois and Kerry games are our big games in this league .Galway Limerick and Wexford are at a different level than this young Offaly team . Best of luck to the guys making their first start its a special d...

Re: 2017 Walsh Cup

Galway have been fairly consistent last year and I think their team is more settled under the new managment so they will want to drive on . They have more forwards other than Joe Canning now so he might have more freedom to express himself this year . I agree sunday will be a struggle for us just ho...
