Last semi-final meeting:- Birr 0-18 Kilcormac/Killoughey 1-10, 2006. Again, Kilcormac/Killoughey come face to face with Birr, who has ended their interest i...

Matches such as the forthcoming semi finals are often described as ‘mouth-watering’ by reporters. I’m not sure why – I must admit my mouth has never watered in advance of a match the way it would before, for example, a sirloin steak with pepper sauce. For this reason we’ll say the semi-finals are ‘e...

This week he reviews the county boards official site, Offaly.gaa.ie. Favourable comments on the news section and on the results/fixtures section.

I see on the official site the hurling semi-finals have been fixed for O'Connor Park, times and dates to be confirmed.
Looking like it's back to Tullamore for the final and that St. Brendan's Park is worse off than ever.

I wasn't there but apparently he lined out at left half forward against Drumcullen and was replaced by Aaron before the end. Birr GAA notes in the Tribune note that "PJ" is back. Welcome to the site, BTW, and thanks for the compliments - always appreciated. I wonder is their any sign of th...

Bought it today. Some good articles and the producers have gone for a decent number of short articles rather than four or five long ones which adds to the variety therein. On thing caught my eye - there's a group photograph of the RTÉ Sunday Game team taken at the start of the Summer. Evanne Ní Chui...

September and the evenings begin to close in rapidly now. Hurling championship reaches the knockout stages this weekend with two interesting quarter finals. Coolderry and Kinnitty have been drawn straight into the semi finals. A welcome for them in ways but filling an idle four weeks can be difficul...
