Well done to the lads against Westmeath tonight.

Should of won by 6 or 7, we were the fitter classier team but missed a lot of chances.

Another Leinster Final at this age group in 12 months, green shoots at underage for sure now.

We haven't gone away yet you know

Offaly played Tipp & Wexford last week.

Anyone here how these games went ?

Under 20s game tomorrow live on TG4 Sport on YouTube tomorrow at 7 30

Some of these lads may never play in Croke Park again so more than likely wanted to have that experience which you cannot fault them for.

Offaly 1.09 - Down 1.08 at Half Time

Miserable day in Newry for hurling. Let's start with the negatives:

Too much wayward shooting
Too many fouls
Hurling as individuals
No gameplan

Now on to the positives:

Is Shane Dooley apart of the set.up this year?

Yeah I seen Brian Watkins not in the squad.

Shane Dooley ommitted too, I thought he was fit again after the football championship.

Anyone else?

I thought the game was tomorrow evening at 5.30.p.m.

Just realised it's on Sunday and it's not a double header as far as I can see - strange time for a game considering the time of the year- its effectively under lights.

Any news on the Offaly team for Derry game tomorrow? Offaly (Christy Ring Cup Hurling v Derry): Stephen Corcoran (Coolderry); Damien Egan (Belmont), Ben Conneely (St Rynagh’s), Paddy Delaney (Kinnitty); Dan Doughan (Shinrone), Cillian Kiely (Kilcormac-Killoughey), David King (Coolderry); Eoghan Cah...

We never fear kildare, however never beat them in recent years.

Injuries mounting up too so we live in hope.

while not out and about socially too much to know what is going on, I seen on Midland Tribune that Leon Fox, Mark Egan and Sean Dolan have left the Offaly panel for various reasons, Dolan in particular will be a huge loss as he was hurling as best as I ever seen with Rynaghs upto the post poned cou...
