Big score line and great result and all that but would we not have won by over 30pts if it was in Birr??

While the sweeper system is not always the right solution, it's an advantage to be able to use it. In the past Offaly haven't used it to any great success and have been woeful at playing at against teams employing a sweeper.

50 points at least. How would a keeper be able to move quickly across his goal in Birr this time of year?

You didn't catch the game, but you caught 3 trout in the nets of the town end goal.

Looking forward to the Killkenny game now in 2 weeks, in the home of hurling as the fella says. There was no point letting a college team that probably hasn't met in 3 weeks to dig it up now was there.
How many was at the game in OCP,
200 people I believe.☺

Nice of Tipperary to lend Offaly the Thurles pitch for the day!

You must be a tipp man because every Offaly person knows where the heart of Offaly hurling is.

No but i do go to most Offaly games even when they are in OCP, both football and hurling, and that is from a Birr man.
