Re: Leinster U-21 Hurling Championship Kilkenny vs Offaly

"A result like that should be the cue for "Offaly's Future" to appear, where are you now when we need you?"



I second that.

Come out come out wherever you are ..

Re: LSHC 30th May Offaly v Antrim Parnell Park 3:30pm

Overtheblackspot – I’m not getting involved in a public spat over Benny Kenny. You are one of the better posters on this forum and I don’t think you are doing yourself any favours calling someone a complete fuckin eejit from behind a computer screen. Your welcome to PM me or to meet up in person. Ma...

Re: LSHC 30th May Offaly v Antrim Parnell Park 3:30pm

Bord na Mona man wrote: Just to illustrate the 'Offaly way' of hurling at work. On two occasions in the first half David Kenny got the ball in his hand around the '45 when he was still centre back. On the first occasion, he looked up and dinked a 50 metre puck towards the left wing. A split second a...

Re: Decision time for West Offaly Lions

Interesting one… Will this carry to St. Sarans in at School level? I’d be fairly strict on adherence to provincial boundaries. CCR Roscrea have always played in the Leinster schools rugby and hurling competitions as they are just on the ‘Skenagh side of Roscrea. I see the point re: Buccs / Connacht ...

Re: Diarmuid Horan off the panel

Fair Play to you backofthenet - that clarifies exactly what you meant and where you are coming from. I have played Intermediate and junior hurling for a total of 8 clubs (in 3 continents!). I didn’t play at a higher level because of:- a) lack of talent. b) I couldn’t give the commitment c) I enjoy t...

Re: Diarmuid Horan off the panel

I’d like to endorse POTH 110% on this. Criticism of the commitment of young inter-county players who elect to take a JI summer here, or a stint in Oz there REALLY gets on my wick. Who is anyone on this forum to criticise a young lad for heading off with his mates or girlfriend when he has the chance...

Re: ballinamere

durra1 is from Ballinamere too. He'd be hurling county if it wasn't for his hard living lifestyle. :twisted: Yes either that daydream and my other recurring daydream of taking a pass from Le Dric last Saturday and heading into town with Kelly Brooke after! I'm torn between throwing in my lot with Na...

Re: ballinamere

A topic close to my heart.. There has been representation from the North of the county on successful minor sides of the past - Finbarr Cullen and Clocker Grennan and Shane Buggy in the Minor sides of the late 80s come to mind with the likes of Niall Bryant, John Rouse, Mark Gallagher, Andy Hoctor an...

Re: Tullamore in leinster final

Big step awaits a wily old Fox 'We'll show Ballyhale the same respect that we showed Birr' - veteran Tullamore stopper Damian Fox. DAMIAN FOX’S earliest memory is standing in with the Tullamore hurling team, moments before the Offaly county final, with a blue and white flag in his hand. His father, ...

Re: tullamore

Its fair game to sow it into a lad for getting his predictions wrong. To criticise a lad for not making a previous fixture because of alternative work commitments is infantile. I’ve seen a few local and national journalists in situ on the high stool ridiculously close to a throw in/kick off and dist...
