You've got one long term injury and one defection and you think you're in crisis!. Cue violins. At the moment the way things are going Offaly mightn't have a team for O'Moore Park. I notice the Offaly Laois hurling game is on live, not often this happens, apart from that game of water polo 2 years a...

Agreed, 'tis sadly missed by me anyway. There were some very knowledgeable hurling contributors thereon. It's always good to keep an eye on what opposing counties are up to. I particularly used to enjoy Arrigle's contributions which became increasingly scarce since he began writing for the Irish Tim...

Westmeath play Carlow in Mullingar this Saturday in the 'special' final with the winners to play Offaly at the end of the month.

I suppose Carlow should beat Westmeath on the basis of their recent underage prowess?

Shamrocks

The county hurling championship burst to life around eight o’clock last night with Tullamore’s sensational 3-9 to 0-15 win over Birr at Moystown. It was Francis Kerringan’s bullet of a goal from a tight angle in the last minute which gave them this win, their first over Birr since 1994, and the musi...

Shinrone (F) vs Belmont (U) Shinrone
Lusmagh (F) vs Drumcullen (U) Lusmagh
St. Rynaghs (F) vs Shamrocks (U) 'Rynagh's
Birr (-9pts) vs Tullamore (+9pts) Tullamore
Kinnitty vs Seir Kieran Kinnitty
Coolderry vs Kilcormac/Killoughey Kilcormac

I know it’s one of sport’s more overused clichés but this year’s county senior hurling championship looks like it will be the most intriguing championship in a decade, for a number of reasons. While All-Ireland club finalists, Birr, will again start as favourites for the title, the effect a winter’s...

That's very late They could have fixed it so the lads could get a pint afterwards!

Sorry . . . couldn't resist.

I had a look at some figures from the 2006 census last night. The population for the Drumcullen catchment area is listed as:- Drumcullen 334 Eglish 165 Killyon 255 That gives a total of 754. On reflection, while the parish covers a big area, much of it is bog, for example along the back road from Ra...

I see Clareen beat ’Rynagh’s by seven points in the semi-final last night. Now Clareen have had a bit of an Indian sign over ’Rynagh’s at senior level for some time now but a small parish beating a town side at an underage level is a major achievement. Obviously Clareen are driven by Joseph Bergin. ...

It is, aye, and if Kildare beat Wicklow in the first round they play Laois in OCP.

Eddie Brennan the footballer is from Castlecomer and apparently is a son of Mick 'Cloney' Brennan, who featured in the 1974 All-Ireland shown on All-Ireland Gold on Saturday night last and who hurled against Offaly in the 1982 Leinster Final. different eddie brennan Is it?

It's eleven on my count, being the first eleven Bord na Mona man listed. Gary didn't appear in the 1997 match against Meath in Mullingar. He made his championship debut in the next round against Laois. Thats according to "The Music of the Ash". Actually Ger Oakley played in that match in M...

Something for ye for a Friday.

in how many different venues did Gary Hanniffy play championship hurling for Offaly?
