Cork this weekend.... Rebels are obviously favourites. Bookies have the handicap at 10 points. Offaly have hurled well for about 75% of each game so far, with the lull (whenever that happens) resulting in the opposition getting a run on us. Does anyone know the latest on Kiely injury? Cork have some...

Have only been taken a passing interest in the 3rd level college hurling scene. While its only fresher hurling, it's nice to see Screeney, Spain, Shirley and Martin, either in the team or squad who are challenging for silverware at colleges level. Hopefully this translates into their involvement at ...

I think having 2 up/2 down will be a much better system for all concerned to be honest. Having only 1 up/1 down was a real problem for the developing teams I always felt.

Sorted on the ticket front.............Thanks to all who messaged me also.

Major thanks to the Kinnitty man who offered an olive branch to a Coolderry man and is going pick me up and sort me out with a lift on top of a ticket to the game. And that bates Banagher!!!!

Flying home to Ireland especially for this tonight and will travel down tomorrow. Managed to get the all clear from the boss. How does one get tickets for this? I see some post they are sold out. Where were they on sale to start with? Any chance of picking one up at the gate? Seems a little odd to g...

Good thread to have. Some fine teams at all levels here. Finals predictions Inter - Shamrocks V Coolderry Junior A - K/K V Clodiagh Gaels Junior B - Edenderry V Lusmagh My opinion on all of the above could easily change after the next round of fixtures Very glad to see an adult hurling team in Edend...

I'm actually disappointed with the fixtures. Purely from a personal point of view. Was quite happy when I seen the group we were in, but was really hoping for an away trip to Sligo and Derry. And hopefully make a weekend of it. But alas home fixtures for both of these. A trip to Aughrim just isn't a...

Big game for the U20's tomorrow evening. Just looked back at the results of this age group from minor to get a handle on the some of the Dublin team. Dublin Results Beat Laois by 3 points Beat Wexford by 3 points Lost to Kilkenny by 4 points Beat Antrim by 15 points Lost to Cork by 4 points As for O...

Yea, that's like being told 'you wouldn't understand'. So try us, John Horan, we're smarter than you give us credit for. I didn't see the draw, but it appears Westmeath were the fifth team drawn out, then Leix were drawn. Leix had to move down to the next tie, then Offaly were drawn. So it appears ...

Arguing about getting a home game when nobody bothers going to O'Connor Park seems trivial. Not quite as bad as the hurling thread where half the comments are about playing in Birr while the senior team is freefall, but still seems pointless. Portlaoise is close enough to make it feel like a home g...

First of all fair dues to the Offaly Senior Footballers. Very well done to the panel and management. On the draw for the next round, I have to agree with other posters that the exact detail of who gets home advantage on the Offaly Laois game seems very vague to say the least. I listened this morning...

My thoughts are done with the greatest respect Greenairfield. Some of my comments might seem a little harsh, but really they're a back handed complement to what Birr contribute to Offaly and I guess I'm just trying to outline that I think the birr club are key to success of Offaly hurling. When Birr...

Birr dont even train for football and have reached junior finals and semi finals and almost went senior about 7 years ago what's your point?? North Offaly people are just as arrogant when it comes to south clubs playing football. We need everyone doing well but if the so called traditional clubs ar...

I am very aware there is voluntary work which goes on in OCP but as you said it's not all voluntary which is quiet a big difference towards other fields around the county. Personally I found the timing of the article quiet interesting but maybe that's just me. Joachim and the management did look fo...

I wish that team all the luck in the world against westmeath...but to be honest I'm worried about where we are at hurling wise. There is very few south hurlers on the team and people have to start asking the question what has happened? For me taking hurling out if birr has had a knock on affect whe...
