Correct, take exit 10 from motorway, and it is on left hand side.

Take exit 10, turn left and straight through roundabout and next left for pitch.
Turn left at roundabout and park at Sports Centre as parking will be tight at the grounds.

Any idea if there are any or many new recruits to Senior squad?

Assume Rhode lads are still out on extended break after their long year?

Any idea of what team at weekend might look like?

A few big misses there especially pender mcnamee and Brazil. What’s being done to young Johnson is a disgrace he was the 2nd top scorer in this years offaly championship only behind Niall mcnamee who scored a lot of frees , 0-6 in o’byrne Cup v Dublin 1-3 v Wexford anytime he played he done well after not being allowed to play championship last year and now not even called into the squad is it any wonder players don’t want to play for offaly? It’s not as if we are blessed with talent that we can leave out a player like him! And saying that cullinan in goal and Farrell from Edenderry worthy a spot on senior squad too!

Is Cian Johnson not in the squad??? I know he’s U20 but he should be used in the league and O’Byrne Cup like last season

No Cian Johnson not in senior or u20 squad, will be togging out corner forward for Belmont in u21 hurling final this weekend. County board have a lot to answer one of our brightest talents being frozen out. Kerry wouldn’t do it to Clifford

Would Hanlon from Edenderry not be good enough or Cian Farrell?

Also what is PJ Daly like?
