That's a serious hammering for Shinrone by Naas. Where is offaly hurling at?? 15 Point victory is emphatic. It's hard to know how much of a barometer the All Club Championships really are. Remember Offaly clubs contested both the 2012 and 2013 All Ireland hurling finals but our senior county hurler...

Ah shur Frank a grand or two is nothing to GAA clubs these days.
Most are pissing 10-15k a year down the drain on chancers masquerading as managers.

The sharpest looking forward in this years championship for me was Nigel Dunne. Seems odd that he wasn't invited straight onto the initial panel and instead had to audition in Faithful Fields last Saturday. Yes there have been some issues in the past but he was a leader for Shamrocks this year (in b...

In any sport, technical ability alone doesn't necessarily deliver results. There is the mental aspect to it. Skills and decision making need to stand up under pressure. The people who dismiss this part of preparation are quite often the ones who brand certain teams/players as being soft or flaky. W...

Maher will be a Performance Coach, whatever the hell that is. He says in the article "I have a bit of study done in it and it’s something I am doing day to day in a work capacity, in the corporate world". Having watched our hurlers strut their stuff these last few seasons I can confirm the...

Edenderry reached the Junior A hurling final as recently as 2013. Crinkle won that final which was played in Killurin. And either the following year or year after they had no team for 6 seasons so it's was very encouraging to see then win the Junior B in their first year back in 2020 and now in the...

We have the dream final. Two teams utilisng big units on the edge of the square. At one end it's Ciaran 'The Giant' Cleary and at the other we have Ger 'Cannonball' Healion. God willing the balls will rained down on both of them for the hour and we'll see a bit action. The 'modernists' might have to...

Most of the big plays in the Senior A final were the result of kick passing. - Straight after half time Super won a free and kicked a perfect long pass into Anton who got Rhode off the mark. An important score cos if Tullamore had scored first then they'd have been 3 up. This settled Rhode. -Super t...

I see Declan Kelly is gone from the under 20 role. Was this the plan or is this a surprise? I wonder is he being lined up somewhere else? It seems a shame to be loosing one of our own like this yet bringing in somebody who is arguably in the 'journeyman' category like Liam Kearns (I'm expecting a fe...

The SeniorA football games are in OCP, this weekend. Rhode v Ferbane on Saturday, 5 pm. Tullamore v Edenderry Sunday at 4 pm. All fixtures and venues are in local press. Try Co. Board website. Cheers Searing.....oh believe me I'm fully aware of the upcoming football fixtures......it's the hurling f...

Lads any idea on when the Intermediate final replay is on or any info on the Senior A & B semi fixture times and venues or are they going to bother playing them at all?

Johnny Kelly has a solid resume. If he’s willing to step forward into this Offaly ‘situation’, which can’t be overly appealing to many, what’s the issue? I guess it has to do with the fact Johnny Kelly has been a integral part of Fennellys management team for the last 3 years. The county board felt...

To be fair, Pat Flanagan has got success everywhere he has gone. Makes you wonder what happened with Offaly. Thats a very good question. I didn't like the fact that Pat never took any responsibility himself for the results in year 3 of his tenure....it was everybodies else fault except his. In fair...

This is not a straightforward appointment. What is the expectation of this new manager? Are we expecting someone to come in and re-establish Offaly as a Liam MacCarthy and D1 team over the next 3-4 years? Hardly. Are we expecting someone to come in and just "get the best out of" the team? ...

Is this the end for John Maughan?

It is for sure now Searing.
