Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024

Brilliantly put Glen. I wouldn’t have the time or ability to do better. Great point on Downey being prioritised by Cork for U20 btw. We should avoid ‘cargo cult’ thinking in Offaly. Trying to second guess that Kilkenny, or Cork or Tipp see U20s as some sort of Tony Forristal for 19 year olds and the...

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024

I was thinking the exact same earlier in the week. Ter Guinan might be the most 1980s hurler name of any modern hurler. From the county that brought you Hubert, Basil, Neville, Marius and Clint, all in my time watching Offaly, it's great to have him on board. I recall a Sylvester from Offaly club f...

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024

PP have Offaly as 4/6 to win the title, meaning they will probably be close to 4/5 to win the game in normal time. That's a 1 point handicap. I'd expect Offaly to go off as 3 or 4 point favourites and closer to 1/2. Dublin will be a different challenge. Kilkenny last night were very much - win it, ...

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024

The game is repeated now on TG4. Drink it in lads! no2 fouled Offaly non17 with an elbow to the face, yellow cards shown. The TG4 commentary said the latter was a red card, the Kilkenny player was lucky to stay on the field. I didn't properly see the elbow during the game but it was very much in re...

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024

This was the best team that this Offaly group has faced and the steepest challenge they’ve overcome. This was a typical Kilkenny team, big men, well able to win the high catches, great ball strikers, plenty of direct raw hurlers, able to sprinkle in a bit of dirt as well. Early in the 2nd half Offal...

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024

One of Offaly's best wins in recent years and still some people are more interested in trying to further their own petty agendas.
Let's talk about the great U20 team we have. The Joe McDonagh Cup can be discussed a different day.

Greatest 1st post in the history of Uibhfhaili.com. Up there with the best of them, absolutely. I remember Silken Thomas coming storming out of the blocks too (https://www.uibhfhaili.com/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?p=12485#p12485) but the uibhfhaili.com underage system seems to have thrown up a potential ...

Silken Thomas had some great content on this forum, but Offaly's Future lives long in the memory.

He retired young after going for the heavyweight belt a couple of times.
Lads like Offaly's Future combust rather than retire!

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024

Glendassaun has done a great job with his very informative preview. I'm looking forward to tomorrow evening. Hopefully we'll see O'Connor Park thronged with Offaly people. If it's a tight game, a good Offaly support can become a factor. Thousands of Offaly people willing the team on, vs a few dozen ...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024

I'd get all the players and management on a bus, load it up with cans, and head off somewhere for a two-day drinking session.
It might help restore team spirit and get them refocussed.

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024

Aye, but do you have to play to your potential to beat opposition who you are so far ahead of? Londons ceiling is hardly so high that even if Offaly are only playing at their base level that the result should be like that? London margin of victory was actually a larger number than what offaly manag...
