Re: Offaly Senior A Hurling Championship 2023

The fact there’s an open deaw for semi finals (well a seeded open draw) makes it pointless to predict x will beat y in semi final as the prediction is based on chance.

A more merit based prediction is to predict who will join K/K & Ballinamere in semi finals.

St Rynaghs and Shinrone for me.

Re: Offaly Senior A Hurling Championship 2023

For me at the moment I would rank the 6 remaining teams in the following order. This takes into account their performances in this year’s championship only and nothing to do with previous campaigns. So for example there’s no point Greenairfield telling me I should rank Birr ahead of Ballinamere beca...

Re: Offaly Senior A Hurling Championship 2023

With the Senior A and B knockout matchups now finalised I would anticipate: The Birr vs Shinrone Quarter Final to double up with the Birr vs Lusmagh Semi Final and be held in OCP While the St Rynaghs vs Coolderry Quarter Final to double up with the K/K vs Clodiagh Gaels Semi Final and be held in Birr.

Belmont’s time has come and gone.

The semi-final of 2022 will haunt them for years to come.

Re: Club football championship 2023

I wonder would this regulation change have to be done by county boards before championship’s commenced? I presume it would.

Re: Election 2020 laois offaly

Pippa has some gig. Not even a TD and she’s claiming a Junior Minister’s wage. I find this abhorrent to be honest. Not a chance she gets in. The Greens are going to get wiped out and her days on the national political gravy train are over. I saw lately her husband Mark really trying to deal with the...

Re: Offaly Senior A Hurling Championship 2023

There will clearly be a 10 team Senior A in 2024. Competition regulations were passed for the 2023 season and can't be amended now. The earliest year for a change to 10 teams in Senior A would be 2025 as clubs will need to know how the structure of 2024 championship effects the make up of the 2025 c...

Re: Offaly Senior A Hurling Championship 2023

This kind of sh1t really pisses me off. A poster comes out and claims the Senior B championship is a bit yo yoey or whatever. When literally no fact or statistic back this up. Since the reintroduction of the Senior B there has been 4 winners: 2019: Seir Kieran 2020: Kinnitty 2021: Clodiagh Gaels 202...

Re: Offaly Senior A Hurling Championship 2023

If a club X’s 1st team is incapable of beating Club Y’s 2nd team what business have they hurling Club Y’s 1st team? Therefore a grade below Senior for clubs made of 1st teams only is not feasible. For example Drumcullen lost to Coolderry’s 2nd team in the Intermediate Championship. Do you think Drum...

Re: Offaly Senior A Hurling Championship 2023

You could have senior A 6 teams, senior b 6 teams. Top 4 in senior A qualifying for q finals and semi finals. Top 2 in b, play in q finals. Bottom 2 out of the 4 senior A qualifying teams play the top 2 in the b for sem final place. Sorry but this is a nonsense proposal. Why should the 7th and 8th ...

Re: Offaly Senior A Hurling Championship 2023

was it eight teams the last time in was one straight group. Yes it was 8 teams in the one group with each team playing each other. It was jettisoned as the county board felt the games weren’t competitive enough. Which was a fair point. After the round robin stage 6 teams qualified for knockouts. Wh...

Re: Offaly Senior A Hurling Championship 2023

Big win for Tullamore. Kinnitty and clareen in the relegation final. If Tullamore can stay senior A for a few years I think they will be a force to be reckoned with. Kinnitty to beat clareen by 4 or 5. Clareen to go down and come back immediately back up. Too good for senior B I wouldn’t be too con...
