I didn't travel. Heard the middle third of the game on Clare FM, then 20 mins or so on Radio Gerry. Saw the highlights on TG4 last night. Seemed that Offaly scored or came close any time they attacked. Ditto for Clare. The telly highlighted one thing, Clare must have scored 6 points from forwaeds ca...

Clare v Offaly
Offaly welcome back captain Thursday, March 23, 2006 Brendan Murphy, who missed the win over Wexford last time out, returns to the Offaly team for Sunday’s NHL meeting with Clare in Ennis. The Offaly captain comes into the attack in place of Stephen Brown in what is the only change from the Wexford ...

Lusmagh v Belmont
Lusmagh v Belmont stands out as a second/third place play-off. A pity its in the first round, the loser will definitely be out of the running.

That’s some great observations there POTH – insightful and very readable at the same time. The Offaly Indo boys will still be stuck for a few matches for the summer if you want me to put a word in …… (other than that you’ll end up with a Meath woman covering some hurling matches – surely that would...

Funny how its never Liam dunne's fault when he gets sent off. Of course, they never mentiioned Dunne's hack down on John when he was bearing down on goal in 1999. When John Troy always hurled well when he was fully fit and marking Lian Dunne:- 1994- John got RTE man of the match. 1995- Dunne was win...

Sindo feature on Damien Hayes
I see Damien Lawlor writing in the Sindo now. Didn’t he previously write for the Scar or one of those other tabloids? Anyway, he had a feature on Damien Hayes and Portumna’s forthcoming club final, which would be OK were it not for some glaring errors. Firstly, Lawlor remarked on the green and gold ...

Part of the unpredictable nature arises because at least one round will be played out on the dirtiest weekend of the winter amidst driving rain and an icy wind. Saturday was one of those days, when a win will have to be ground out on a sticky pitch where conditions most certainly do not favour forwa...

Lest ye all get carried away with all the football madness, Offaly hurl Wexford in Birr on Sahirday. I know this means absoluely nothing, but Wexford haven't won on their last 5 league visits to Birr, their last win there was in 1972-73. If anything, it probably means they'll win now, because I went...

The Man Behind The Wire
So The Man Behind The Wire finds us nauseating, or so he says in this week's Tribune. He better get his sick-bucket out. I don't see any critiscism of Ross Connor on the Under 21 football thread on this site, so I presume he means Hogansh**e.com. Enough said. However, putting your name to your artic...

Offaly v Cork
Played at what you’d call a competitive league pace, we had a good hours hurling in Birr yesterday, which could have gone either way in the wind-up. Firstly, I don’t like Cork any more. I don’t like the way Sully bullies the referee at every decision. Ditto the way Donal Beag bullies the umpires at ...

Hurling
Had posted a spiff on yesterday's match on the thread about the forthcoming league and then I saw this. Sorry.

'Welsh' Cup yesterday
Watched this match yesterday, which, I must say, was a most enjoyable, lively affair, with a good standard of hurling on view. Both teams started at a hectic pace, with Offaly scoring readily during the first 25 minutes, with a supply of low, good ball into Carroll, Bergin & Egan, at which stage...

Re: Walsh Cup - Antrim Match Review
I'm sure some out of Tresurer, Plain of the Herbs et al were around, so feel free to put your more cultured hurling spin on matters, but that was my summation, or as best as I can do in the 20 mins I have here in a public Library .... :D Afraid not LS, I let the side down and went to Leopardstown i...

New hurling format
Hmmm, I dunno. The purpose of the weak group was to protect a weaker (or newly promoted) club from getting hockeyed by Birr. Birr could now be drawn with, for example, Clara and Killavilla. The new format is not going to solve the problem the committee set out to solve, in that, if there is a repeat...

Seasons greetings.
I just want to wish all contributors here a happy and peaceful Christmas.
I've enjoyed the debate here in the last year, hopefully 2006 will have as many twists and turns as 2005 had for the green, white and gold, but come to a happier end.
