Re: Offaly Senior A Hurling Championship 2023
Kilcormacs first 6 or 7 subs are equally as good as their 9th - 15th best player. Ballygunner is great game to get as they will be favourites for All Ireland now - probably followed by Limericks Na Piarsaigh and St Thomas' Galway. Leinster is wide open now for Kilcormac to contest it with Ballyhale ...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
What would the expectations be for next year? For what its worth here is what I think. For too long now we have been making up excuses that we are in transition and I'm hearing it again these days. That's absolute rubbish. We are not in transition or at least should not be. Unlike underage hurling, ...

Re: Club football championship 2023
For the forward talent at their disposal, they are falling short of where they could be I'd feel. To score only 2 pts in second half at home after a month lay off and lots of prep time is fairly poor. They should have been mad keen to go at Summerhill today at home, but showed same old failings. The...

Re: Club football championship 2023
Ballycommon won Junior A in 2017 and were intermediate then until last year. Their second team may have been Junior B in 2017.

Re: Junior A Hurling Championship 2023
You'd imagine Ballinamere will account for Clodiagh Gaels given results to date. However, beyond that I think Brosna Gaels would be too strong for a Ballinamere second team. Unlike other years, Brosna Gaels football teams are all out reasonably early and so they will have way more prep and player ac...

Re: Junior A Hurling Championship 2023
So if the original Sunday fixture is only changed because of a request from Clodiagh Gaels to move the game and facilitated for them by co board, and home venue then given to Ballinamere, based on toss of coin and fact they have lights to facilitate mid week fixture, then that is due to ML Duignan a...

Re: Club football championship 2023
Ferbane lost that game on the sideline. To leave Cian Johnson sitting on the bench is astonishing to say the least, kicked 0-3 in the second half from scraps while the rest of the team kicked 0-3 combined. Not so sure about that one. Johnson lost a couple of balls and got turned over at least twice...

Re: Club football championship 2023
Tullamore win today by 1-5 to 0-6, in a poor game. The winners led 1-2 to 0-3 at the break. Cian Johnson scored 0-3 for Ferbane in the second half, but Tullamore got a late free to win by 2 points. Ferbane lost that game on the sideline. To leave Cian Johnson sitting on the bench is astonishing to ...

Re: Club football championship 2023
Clonbullogue and Ballycommon in Senior B final. Good teams playing well for each other. Both teams well balanced and play good brand of football. Ballycommon very impressive in 2nd game but to be fair, Cappincur were poor and too reliant on elder statesmen. Declan Kelly likely to pick up few new pla...

Re: Proposed change to age grades at both county and club level
I saw that article, and I think the county board's logic is by say splitting up amalgamations they would get greater participation in each club, so I think the idea would be that in say for example (Erin Rovers I think were mentioned in the article ), if there were 8 lads at under 10 from Erin Rove...

Re: Offaly Senior A Hurling Championship 2023
Certainly an interesting draw. I think both Shinrone and Ballinamere will be happy and feel they both have great chance. I'd lean towards Shinrone here on this one with experience etc. They will have learned a lot from Ballinamere in recent group match and with revenge factor at play, they will be r...

Re: Junior A Hurling Championship 2023
Would imagine that the likes of Kilcormac and Brosna Gaels will be a lot stronger now for similar reasons. KK will have a good few lads with senior championship medals who played Junior B who might be called into Junior A team for semi final. Likewise Brosna Gaels will have picked up a good few lads...

Re: Offaly Senior A Hurling Championship 2023
I wouldn't write Rhode off at all just yet. Likes on Anton and Niall Mac have plenty years left at club level and they have good players coming through again. They drew with Ferbane this year remember too only to lose in ET. As for hurling, Shinrone and Rynaghs must be licking their lips too the way...

Re: Offaly Senior A Hurling Championship 2023
Was interested in your assertion of Ballinamere Durrow being a big parish as I had always figured it to be a small enough area. So I did a bit of digging - see pic attached in link.

Re: Club football championship 2023
Edenderry will be kicking themselves after today. Had the opportunity but couldnt take it. Tullamore will be red hot favourites for final but Ferbane will not fear them. Big pressure on Tullamore now after coming up short so often in recent years, especially after all their underage dominance. On ta...
