Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

Folks! It’s like black Monday, black Tuesday, black Wednesday, black every day Everytime I look in here. Cop yereselves on. In all likelihood, Offaly won’t beat Waterford later today. But does it dawn on ye that they mightn’t have to bet Waterford to take something from the match? Most likely not. S...

Galway v Leix was always fixed for next Sunday. That wouldn't be affectef by a potential Offaly v Galway refixture.

Johnny Flaherty RIP

God be good to Johnny, a wonderfully artistic hurler who gave us arguably Offaly’s greatest moment (that goal), but was also instrumental on the road to getting there. Frankthetank has given the team honours. Along the way, there were 26 championship appearances (scoring 14-55), 40 NHL appearances (...

Re: Offaly Minor Football and Hurling 2023

Offaly Schools will play St Peter's College Wexford in January. Kilkenny CBS play Johnstown in the other quarter-final. In the B championship, Banagher College will play Árdscoil Rís in the quarter-final, while Naas CBS play Wexford CBS. Birr and Heywood appear to have drawn 'byes' to the semi-final...

Re: JP McManus donation

Like everything, the devil is in the detail. The covering letter to boards states "to be evenly divided and distributed amongst the GAA, Camogie and Ladies Gaelic Football clubs of (county)." There are 41 GAA clubs in Offaly; Offaly Camogie has 15 clubs' locations mapped on its website; Of...

Re: Offaly Minor Football and Hurling 2023

A good week for Offaly schools. The Combined team’s win over Coláiste Eoin puts them in a quarter-final where one of Kilkenny CBS, Johnstown or St Peter’s Wexford will provide the opposition. This is decided by open draw. Earlier today, Banagher College turned 43rd minute 1-5 to 1-11 arrears into a ...

Re: Offaly Senior A Hurling Championship 2023

My understanding is the following. Technically, all those who played in the winning Senior B final are graded Senior next year. That would mean that Kilcormac-Killoughey would have around 40 players graded Senior next year. However, the regrading rules changed about five years ago. Prior to that, th...

Re: Offaly Minor Football and Hurling 2023

No. Because their membership is of the Lusmagh or Drumcullen or Ballyskenagh-Killavilla clubs.

Re: Offaly Minor Football and Hurling 2023

I make the first knockout round of the Leinster B PPS will be Birr v Tullamore and Banagher v Mullingar. The draw seems to be 'arranged on a regional' basis, which in fairness reduces the likelihood of a lengthy trip in bad weather conditions. Though it reduces the possibility of an all Offaly final...

Re: Offaly Minor Football and Hurling 2023

As far as I can make out, there were two Lusmagh, two Ballyskenagh and one Drumcullen on the 15. The rest were native Cloghan, Banagher and points in between.

Re: Offaly Intermediate Club Hurling Championship 2023

The bigger parishes (by area) would tend to be in the eastern third of the county. Like, east of Tullamore consists almost entirely of Daingean, Killeigh, Rhode, Edenderry, Broughans and Gracefield parishes. And Gracefield would be a small enough area. Would love to know size of clubs geographical a...

Re: Offaly Intermediate Club Hurling Championship 2023

Clareen weren't defeated by Bray. In recent years Seir Kieran were the only team who I felt were equipped to do well in the Leinster Intermediate Championship. I was actually surprised they were defeated by Bray Emmets in 2019. Kinnitty may have also made decent progress in 2020 but Covid put paid t...
