Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024
Under the circumstances a refixture is the only fair outcome. Galway may claim they had their noses in front, but the recent passing of Johnny Flaherty should remind us that Offaly closed out the 1981 All Ireland final with 1-6 unanswered. In 1981 Galway were the defending All Ireland champions and ...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
Offaly could have seen it out comfortably. The game turned in that second half lull where Offaly had lots of ball but showed less urgency. But remember, if winning was that important, we wouldn't have seen so many subs. It's pre-season where it's important to give lots of players game time. The posi...

I think it is worth starting a dedicated topic to remember the passing of some Offaly GAA people.

Re: JP McManus donation
It's very easy to be cynical about these things, but this money will be a great boost to my newly formed club, "Turf Rovers" which is just a week old.

Re: Shane Dooley Retirement
It's more of a surprise that Shane lasted this long before retiring, as he had a lot of injury problems in recent years. Shane was a great finisher when he got a sniff of goals, accurate as well and could pick off points from tight angles. In many games, his was the vital score to keep Offaly alive ...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
Most years Div 3 has: a) a Div 1/2 standard team, briefly lapsing into D3 - Kildare 2016, Armagh in 2017/18, Cork in 2020. b) a newly promoted Div 4 team, shooting upwards that will breeze through - Leix 2019, Derry in 2021, Louth in 2022, Cavan in 2023. In 2024, I don't see any team that are level ...

Re: Offaly Senior A Hurling Championship 2023
Glass half full. K-K will regret getting off to a bad start and will take comfort from how they regathered themselves to launch a fightback. If they're ambitious enough, they'll want to bounce back next year and have another tilt at Leinster. However, no one should assume they'll keep getting out of...

Re: Offaly Senior A Hurling Championship 2023
This was an impressive win for K-K. The Wexford county final a while back was a typical Wexford mullockfest, where Gorey looked very dogged when they outfought and outlasted Oylegate. With home advantage, a heavy pitch, Sean Cleere reffing it, an Offaly team in any way soft, would have been in bothe...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
Fully agree with Jimbob. There have been lots of years in the last 15 years where Offaly have been in the top 3 or 4 teams in Leinster at minor and U20/21. Dublin are the only county significantly better than us in that time. Kildare and Meath a fraction better, but always beatable by a strong Offal...

Re: Club football championship 2023
Hopefully the incident with the referee is swiftly dealt with and an appropriate sanction handed out. No need for a pile-on against the person who will today be regretting his actions. As an aside, as much as we may howl about decisions during a game, once the final whistle goes, remonstrating with ...

Re: Club football championship 2023
If true, that is actually shocking. Drew a game years ago but lost the replay. There hurlers got to a leinster final I’m open to correction, but I think Tullamore’s only Leinster SF win was over the Longford champions a few years back. Correct. I once suggested they had never won a game outside of ...
