Offaly Senior Hurlers 2023

[private joker]

Need more lads from offaly on college teams

[Doon Exile]

Was at the game in balycran Offaly have become a team of 60 minuters mentality and natural skill wise we are playing club hurling in a inter county competition.
The answer I don't think even NASA have a program for it
But rubbish club hurling for the sake of having a club team is not the way forward.
Down only have 6 senior clubs I was told be there supporters but a thriving intermediate setup
There population is greater than ours but you rule out
The other half and the football lot we probably at the same numbers game
But the school system especially primary is alot more
Active sports wise remember there school days and year
Are longer ( we have awful PE facilities for primary school ) I have seen and lived through both systems.
Remember if you can catch a ball and basic skills at 6/8
The future is bleak no matter how much time you spend at the gym .
Sorry about the wrant

Rant ???? I thought Offaly actually won the game…?? Going on the above it seems to be between Down and Limerick for the All Ireland this year.

Frightening really.
Our younger players just don't seem to be good enough.

Other than Burke in Carlow IT
Sampson and Cleary in UL
Watkins Nolan and Thompson in LIT

Did we have anyone else ?

One day out. Wait for the league campaign, then comment. Maybe the poster should check spelling.

In fairness to Superhans75, he was in Ballycran.

Thanks
Typo mistake on my phone I will blame the Chinese government lol .
I suppose they were trying to spy on our vast improvement of our hurlers .
I don't like to criticize players staff extra but the system is
Like a dog chasing its tail ..
Can any of you say we have improved in the last 5 years !
Hand on heart ( no rose tinted glasses please)
Derry on Sunday is a game we have to go all out get a few goals not conced any !
No disrespects to Derry either .
Hopefully some fans might turn up as well

Good man SuperHans!

You remind of a chap that posted here, I think Offaly's Future!

Now there was a man that could rant!

Might ramble on to the 20s match.
Is that set for 1pm start in Kilcormac as outlined yesterday.

Match is in o connor Park? 1pm. Vs Derry .

[Onionbag]

Expecting at least two goals and a 7-9 point win against Derry

[Dodge83]

33 points is great scoring but our inability to score goals will ultimately cost us against good teams.

[Anonymous1]

A win is a win, first half sounded very poor going by commentary but a good improvement in the second thanks in no small part to the introduction of Eoghan Cahill just before halftime, why has he not been starting?

We seem to have four of five players carrying the load for the rest of the team and we’ll be found out by Kerry in two weeks if we don’t have a greater spread of scorers along with finding a way to score goals.

Good to see some are beginning to see my view of our lack of goals, understandable in a higher division but we are lacking here in a lower division, no one willing to carry the ball into battle heartland once it gets physical..yes great to win but goals will be needed in higher tier competitions later in the year..
