If the clubs were happy to allow this year's championship to go ahead in its current format knowing that there would more than likely only one round to be played before the break for intercounty activity, surely next year they will be happy to allow the same format as two rounds can be played pre in...

If you took Emmet Nolan out of that team tonight we could have got a right hammering. He was involved in nearly all our scores even though he only got 0-02 from play himself. Paddy Delaney was also quite good but the more balanced team won and could have won by more only for some wayward shooting an...

Semi Final fixed for Portloaise Sunday week at 3:30.

We have a poor recent record there having lost our last 6 championship matches there with the last win In 2008. Hopefully we'll get a performance from the lads. Nothing to fear from Galway to be fair.

Very Strange club representation on the Offaly Senior Team Brosna Gaels have a member on the team, Kinnitty have 3 members on the team, Seir Kieran have 3 members on the team. The strongest club in Offaly Kilcormac/Killoughey have just 2 subs. Very hard have Kicormac lads on the team when they won'...

I think there's a general misconception about the so called conveyor belt of talent that exists in Kilkenny. In the last 13 years Klkenny have won 3 All Ireland minor titles and two All Ireland under 21 crowns. Considering the amount of senior All Irelands they have won in the same period this is no...

He is experienced enough to play there at least..you pick someone different out of the 26 you put up Agreed. Colin Egan is the best option to play centre back at the moment. It's easy for guys to say this lad and that lad aren't good enough to play in a certain position, but when you ask them who t...

Rumour has it that two of the starting team named for Saturday have dropped themselves off the panel along with another player who was a sub last week. If that is the case it says a lot about those players. To step away when their county needs them the most. How substantiated that rumour is I can't ...

I seen a TV interview with Padraig Horan over 14 years ago stating Offaly hurling was on a downward spiral..that was after Winn 2 under age Leinster titles in recent times back then..he got slated for his statement..he was spot on Jaysus, aren't Horan and Daithi Regan great lads to forsee all this?...

Id prefer a 4 week gap rather than a 13 week gap.

What would be the problem with having three groups of 4 teams with no weak group?? Just an open draw.

2 group winners with best records straight into semis and 4 teams left play in 2 quarter finals.

I find it ironic to see all the plaudits Paddy Rigney is getting (well deserved by the way) considering this is the same Paddy Rigney that our management team felt wasn't up to the standard of inter-county hurling and dropped him after Christmas. And was only brought back into the panel because Emme...

Club Hurling Championships start on Sunday. Players from the top four clubs have been training for over 2 months. Their next game will be in 3 months time. It is probable that the first real competitive game for our stronger clubs will be the County Quarter Final in September. In senior football al...

If Offaly qualify from Round Robin and lose Leinster Q-Final there will be a four week gap to their first game in qualifiers. Surely a provision should have been made to play a round of senior championship in that 4 week window. The inter-county players would probably welcome it as a break from trai...

I was of the belief that there was only one round of the SHC pencilled in for April. All the better if there is two. However I'd be quite surprised if the county management allowed a round of SHC to be played 2 weeks before first round robin game considering they wouldn't allow ANY panel members to ...

To clarify, players who are not on the 26 are NOT released to their clubs for challenge matches. By GAA rules they must be released for club league games, however no such rule exists for challenge matches.
