Up to now offaly have been doing fairly alright. But today was a reality check. Counties are going to ramp it up now in the lead up to championship and the weaker counties will suffer results like today. Winning the joe mcdonagh is the aim. For offaly to compete with the likes of cork, multiple u20s...

Don't think the result would have been much different. Kk came out and were of a different level to the 1sr half. Also factor in kk had 7 or 8 wides in the first half. It was a very good 45 minutes from offay

Kk really turned it on. 1 10 to 2 points in 2nd half it was actually 1-18 to 1-05 over full second half...Kiely was a mammoth loss..knew the minute he went off..he "got a belt from a loose swing" from John Donnelly...indeed..how lucky for Kilkenny it was described as such..Kiely was on fi...

7 point defeat. Have to be content with that. Big score put up.

Offaly doing very well vs kk. 14-7 up

I think some players on the offaly panel are a bit on the immature side?

Think kk will win well, the league is now moving up through the gears and teams like offaly , antrim , westmeath are going to find the going tough. Limerick hammered Dublin , and that was in 2nd gear. If offaly can hang in there for 45 minutes that would be a good days work. Kk are not in transition...

The manner of the defeat is a worry. Clare with a new manager and big turn over of players. All is not lost. Offaly are a division 3 team. That's their level. A few ok teams and one excellent u20 team is really not enough to get up to division 2 which is a very high level of football. Club scene in ...

I clearly said St Patrick’s Day which is literally a month away.

When the pitch could still be unplayable.

Not up to county board I'd say

Be very good developmental league for offaly, hopefully it will be named Div 1 and Div 2 etc and be a normal thing to do rather than 1 a, 1 b rubbish.

The westmeath/wexford result was a freak of nature. A once never to happen again result. Anyone who can't see progress is fair blind. Offaly look fit, can stick with teams for longer. Good level of skill. It wasn't that long ago offaly were loosing to Down.

Joe mcdonagh is going to be a great competition. Laois westmeath and offaly will all fancy it. Westmeath giving limerick a good game. 9 all at halftime
