Re: Leinster Club Hurling

Delighted walking out of O'Connor park today. Coolderry really had to work hard for it the win. Losing Kevin Brady so early was a huge loss and I was worried as he had broken down a lot of their attacks, but all the lads stepped up to the plate and knuckled down. Bergin got 3 fantastic points especi...

Leinster Club Hurling

Coolderry take on the Carlow Champs Mount Leinster Rangers in qtr final of Leinster. Leinster looks quite open to me this year now that Cuala are out. New Champions in Wexford, and Ballyhale were very lucky to win Kilkenny, I was at it and they were completely out on their feet in the final. Fitness...

Re: Offaly hurling manager??

Not really sure what to say..............

Interesting to hear Eamon Kelly on his commitment to the Laois cause

Re: U21 Hurling Championship.

Well done to the players and management. A real shot in the arm with a convincing win. They went in as favourites and lived up to the billing. Between the U21s, the Celtic Challenge success and the Minors putting in a reasonably decent showing there is a little bit more hope in the future of Offaly ...

Re: Offaly County Board Thread

I believe that a revised version of the Hurling development report is finally being laid before the county board next week. Can anyone confirm this? I accept many peoples views about it being a thankless position being on the board or being a delegate for that matter.........but even allowing for t...

Offaly vs Wexford 2016 Hurling Qualifier - Saturday July 2nd

Away to Wexford it is. Not the worst draw in the world. I think Eamon Kelly will be happy with that considering the result against them in the league. Wexford seem to be on a pretty low ebb at the moment. They looked totally off the pace against Dublin in Croke Park. Wexford will still be strong fav...

Re: Offaly vs Westmeath 2016 Leinster Q-final - Sunday June

Has anything happened out of the Kieran Martin incident yet does anyone know. Our chances of progression are getting harder and harder, if we beat London we could play Cork, Mayo, Monaghan/ Donegal or Westmeath/ Kilare. Hopefully we get a home draw and see can we compete against a division 1 team t...

Re: Offaly vs Galway 2016 Leinster Semi-final - Sunday June

I wonder what are the chances of Emmet Nolan being drafted into the starting 15? Would love to see him start in the half forward line. Mulrooney done well coming off the bench against Kerry I thought and think that he may be better as an impact sub rather than a starter. Nolan however is probably ou...

Offaly vs Galway 2016 Leinster Semi-final - Sunday June 19th

Biggest game that many of these lads have faced to date. They were impressive and done what needed to be done against a poor Laois team. This will be a huge step up though. It worrys me that Galway put Westmeath away so easily....especially considering how easy Westmeath beat us in round robin. I do...

Not going to go into much depth here but just going to wish the lads the best of luck tomorrow. Hopefully the games in the round robin will stand to us.
