Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

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. It’s officially called Division 1B. Obviously to get it over the line they couldn’t have called it Division 2 because heaven forbid some of the bigg...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

I suppose this is the challenge these days , getting perspective. We all have views and grand, few words on a computer is easily done. I havn't been to any games yet and didnt see the Wexford game. We will struggle to make big strides in the short term , but the introduction of these successful U2o...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

Lads are getting totally carried away with themselves after last night. Yes it was nice to see them compete with a Liam McCarthy team and I actually thought the fitness levels were good, the pressing from our full forward line in particular was impressive. Kiely is an absolute warrior and needs pro...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

Dublin in Croke Park in 2018. Working back, beat Wexford down there in 2016. And a win over Limerick in 2015. When was the last time point we actually got a point in top flight hurling? Offaly beat Carlow in Division 1B in 2019. Carlow were Liam McCarthy that year. Played 4 games and lost them all ...

Re: Parish Rule

Considering both clubs were senior about 15 years ago its a considerable fall. Ballyskenagh have gone from being in a senior hurling final to being an amalgamated club in the 4th of 5 tiers of Offaly hurling in the space of 20 years. Makes you respect what the likes of Seir Kieran, Kinnitty and Coo...
