Re: Revolution not reform needed in underage hurling
Why dont Offaly send a delegation down to Kilkenny and see what they are doing at underage level and implement that sort of structure here.Or is that too simplistic a solution In terms of replicating Kilkenny, we could send a delegation down there and they'd come back with one simple answer. They i...

Re: offaly v kildare, and seanie johnston
In general, this situation is very interesting.The point about where he lives and what club he plays for within Kildare is moot, as there is no parish rule in the county, so he is entitled to play with whatever club he wants. Probably good for the county that he went to a club that are not as good, ...

Re: offaly v kildare, and seanie johnston
Does anyone know what happened with him up in Cavan in the first place. Just a falling out between manager and player or something else ?

Can you help to solve this crime?
As proud Offaly folk, we need to do what we can to preserve our heritage. You may have seen this story on the news earlier, but no harm in getting the word out there to see if we can recover this historically significant piece of our culture. Details below: Gardaí in Tullamore are investigating the ...

Re: Offaly Vs Wexford 2/6/12 Leinster Championship
That's a decent looking 15. I wouldn't expect them to start exactly in those positions, so I'll worry about placement when I see them on Saturday evening. As last week showed with Tipp, GAA managers are only now getting used to using their subs properly, so hopefully there is a good tactic for utili...

Re: Offaly versus Kildare 16th June 2012
Ah, God be with the good old days of Offaly football in 1995. I remember it well, as Meath hung on by their fingernails to a 10 point victory, with Offaly peppering the Meath goal for the last 45 minutes of the game and were extremely unlucky just to register 1 point in that time. That day will long...

Re: Best 15 from Offaly Hurling AllStars
I was talking about this with a few lads over the weekend and having a debate about our respective selections. One of the lads in the group reckoned that the best 15 from Offaly's All Stars would not beat the current Kilkenny team. It turned into a fairly heated debate with solid enough arguments ma...

Re: Club football championship
Just looking at some photos online of the Championship games last weekend and I am seriously worried about the future of games in this county. Nothing to do with the conditioning of the players or the amount of spectators at the games, no. This is a much more serious issue with far reaching conseque...

Re: Offaly minor hurlers
I think Finbar could be overage this year, while Sean is concentrating on his Leaving Cert. Big loss to the minors though.

Best 15 from Offaly Hurling AllStars
I was browsing the main section of this site and reading through the list of hurling All Stars from Offaly. In total, there are 25 different players with 42 All Stars between them. So, in about 2 minutes, I picked my starting 15 from the list of 25. There are obviously some tricky decisions and I wo...
