Offaly GAA Strength and Conditioning

Does anybody actually know who Offaly has for Strength and Conditioning? For Hurling/Gaelic Football. And is there different S+C coaches for the different age groups?

Re: Offaly Senior Hurling 2014

Nobody said it would all be happy ever after...There is too much negativity surrounding this group of players this year. We can't be here posting depressing stuff every week about the state of hurling in our county. We have to support the players that we have, yes maybe they are not the best team in...

Offaly Senior Hurling 2014

So our lads have overcome the potential banana skin that was Antrim up in Ballycastle, which was always going to be a tough game especially after losing the relegation match against them. And also the fact that we took a heavy beating against Kilkenny. So lets take a positive look on this..............

Re: All-Ireland Hurling Qualifiers Round 1 Antrim v Offaly

Personally I think Brian Whelahan picked a very strong team to play Antrim. Firstly the starting 15 is very unpredictable in which way they will line out..Rumours were going around that David Kenny played full forward in a recent practice match, so maybe he will start on the edge of the square. The ...

County Board

After watching the u21 match tonight, and seeing in the 1st half how far Offaly were off the pace only registering 2 points. It was yet another sad day for Offaly hurling. Personally I feel the late appointment of the management team was a major cause of the problems at u21 level. If we take a wider...

If you were to pick Offalys best 15 in your opinion or who should be playing, what would the team be?

Re: Strength And Conditioning

But ya have to admit if Brian Whelahan went out with a game plan and choose the 15 lads he wanted to play it, and it went terribly wrong he would come under awful criticism for not picking the best 15 lads available to him. I understand what you are saying but the game plan was totally wrong we play...

Re: Strength And Conditioning

I agree with that totally..."Train slow, become slow" "Train fast, become fast". Offaly just lacked the pace and skill level in most areas of the pitch. In Brian Carrolls corner is the only position where we were on top. Last year against Kilkenny under Ollie Baker we opted for t...

Strength And Conditioning

Before this Championship even started Ger Loughnane referred to this batch of offaly hurlers "the only team in the modern era with fat legs, bellies and a****". Talking about our strength and conditioning levels he said the county "is living in the dark ages". After our 26 point ...
