Re: Offaly SHC
I'd say the hurling communities of Birr, Coolderry, Kinnitty, Shinrone, Clareen, Belmont all want to see a Rynaghs v KIlcormac county final, right enough. Training has been pared back and they are already looking towards next year lest they ruin everything and get in the way of some peoples' 'dream...

Re: Offaly SHC
St Rynagh look like clear favorites at this stage but i wonder are KK a team in decline or a team holding back till the meet St Rynagh in the semi final or final . I think that most people want to see a St Rynagh KK final . St Rynagh beat KK in 2015 and 2016 semi final and KK beat them in the 2012 a...

Re: Offaly hurling manager??
Davy style of hurling would be a problem if we had the hurlers and the money to attract him .We dont have either . I could not see Davy allowing a team that he managed to play the hurling that Tipp and Galway treated us to on Sunday . Himself and donal Og are both into "modern " hurling wh...

Offaly GAA - in Crisis
Michael was correct to express his opinion thats his job .I agree with him totally .I heard Larry Murphy on the radio on sunday evening and he said the same thing .He said he go mad if he was in the full forward line in the last few minutes when guys were hand passing across the half back line inste...

Re: Offaly SHC
No medals given out in july typical Birr improving ,they hammer Shamrocks and they have a cut at KK in their final group game which will set them up nicely for the quarter finals . St Rynagh are top of their group and are clear favorites at this stage . KK top the other group,they have had to replac...

Re: Additions to County panels Football and Hurling
I Think if we could have those 15 taking to the field with a good manager we see much more than a marginal gain very quickly .

Re: Offaly GAA - in Crisis
I agree but that was always the case ,good players and good team can adapt to the situation on the field .private joker wrote:Modern hurling is not about being totally defensive or offensive. It's about being adaptable and have the ability to deal with on the field situations as they occur.

Re: Hurling Plan, Whats the story?
Fair play to G Cahill and J Dooley for stepping forward ,both are very respected by the players ,both were shocked how poor K Ryan was as a manager and disagreed with his negative game plan from what i hear .

Re: Offaly GAA - in Crisis
Galway Cork and Tipp are attacking teams who play fast direct ball into skillfull forwards .Waterford Wexford and Clare are much more defensive and play with a sweeper . So which are playing modern hurling???? To me the first 3 are playing attacking hurling ,the other 3 are playing with fear. I pref...
