I often buy the Offaly Express and the Tullamore Tribune.


Then the Offaly Independent is delivered free every week - why do they do this?

Some weeks I read the 3 of them.

So I should get some sort of award for supporting provincial journalism.

I notice that there was a discussion on divisional/parish teams at the County Board inquest into the Football Year.

Shamrocks vs Tullamore - nobody stood out too much and a lot of county players looked very ordinary. It might have been the conditions because there was a lot of misty rain. The best displays were proably in defence. Tommy Coughlan marked Sean Martin very well and James Keane was very good on P.J.W...

I like the use of score difference. Otherwise we can have endless playoffs and I seem to remember Tullamore playing Ballyskenach loads of times last year due to this. In Offaly we've had situations where a group of 4 or 5 ends up with 3 teams playing off. Another possibility is that we can have play...

From what I saw at the weekend and borrowing from (Blue and White) & Muck Savage's excellent reports:

Players worth taking a look at:

Sean Martin (Man of the Match for Tullamore)
Jason Kelly
Niall Price
Shane Cunningham

Player on squad

Ken Casey

Every part of this game is burnt into my brain. I was pinning all the year's hopes on this and I was hoping that Offaly would finally win the elusive Under 21 All Ireland or at least a Leinster. Congratulations to Efan and Offalys Future for zeroing on the tactical contrast between Offaly and Dublin...
