Pretty uninspiring stuff in SBP today. K/K vs Rynaghs was very physical but lacked any real quality I felt. Adam Screeney was starved of possession. I feel he is going to get it tougher as the year progresses and the pitches begin to slow down. Except for the 2nd quarter Coolderry easily had the mea...

A lot of rain over last 24 hours and a lot of games left to be played over the next 8 weeks. Would it be prudent to move one of the games in SBP today to a different venue and change it’s time by say 30 minutes to allow people to still attend both?

Wasn’t hurling Edenderry’s first game until the 1950’s?

KK 2-17 St Rynaghs 1-16 Coolderry 2-16 Seir Kieran 3-12 Tullamore 1-13 Kinnitty 1-18 Ballinamere 1-16 Belmont 3-17 I don’t think Clareen have enough in the forward line to score 3 goals against what is a reasonable Coolderry back line. And I couldn’t see Kinnitty hitting 18 points. Just looking at ...

It seems that way alright. Also it’s not beyond the realms of possibility that we end up with Kilcormac/Killoughey, Shinrone, Belmont and Ballinamere in this year’s semi-finals. These 4 clubs have a combined total of 5 county championships between them. Makes for a sense of freshness to the whole th...

I think Tullamore vs Kinnitty could be very tight.

And I’m not ruling out Seir Kieran by any stretch of the imagination.

Ballinamere’s first real test since last year’s capitulation vs Birr. And a test I think they will pass. The wide open expanses of OCP will suit them.

Ya, those predictions are something along the lines of what I’d go for. While Birr v K/K might be the glamour game, don’t forget that Seir Kieran vs Coolderry and Kinnitty vs Tullamore are de facto relegation semi-finals. They could be worth attending as there’s real jeopardy involved in those 2 gam...

A lot depends on how the Senior championship is structured over the next dozen years or so. Will the CB be happy to leave it at 10 teams or will they try to streamline it down to 8. If they do then your nailed on senior clubs are probably Kilcormac/Killoughey Birr St Rynaghs Ballinamere Shinrone The...

Anyone got the score from DSK vs KK?

A surprise Na Fianna beating Birr? Or is it?

Birr?????? Jaysus.

Coolderry’s new pitch at 1 with Lusmagh at 2.

Indeed. I stand corrected.

That late 1-06 was a sign of things to come!!

Shinrone really have the hex over Belmont at this stage. 3 smash and grabs in a row.

Niall Rigney will drive those Ballinamere players bananas before the year is out. If a player hits a wide he doesn’t need his manager bawling him out of it to “move your feet”. Players aren’t stupid. Nothing worse than a manager roaring in highlighting your mistake. Ballinamere full value for their ...

Thats a reality check to show Drumcullen their true place in the hurling world in Offaly.
