Re: Offaly SHC County Final 18/10/09 @ 15:30

Re: Offaly SHC County Final 18/10/09 @ 15:30

That save in the second half from Fox was in the Gordon Banks league. Slevin or whoever it was did nothing wrong by batting the handed pass downwards. It was incredible anticipation by Fox not to commit to a block and to stay low to deflect it after the bounce around the post. Any cricketer would ha...

Re: Offaly vs Wexford - Leinster Championship 30/05/2009

Read and consider before you leap draw your own conclusions.

’Starting 15’ is what it is – any of the 15 positions on the field.

Re: Leinster 25 - Hurling

You’ll always have gerrymandering on these types of selections. I’d agree with the above bar the following: 6 Ger Henderson was an entirely one-sided hurler. I could spot that as a child watching him in the 80s. He wouldn’t last the pace in the modern game. Hubert had it all as a centre back. 8 Cha ...
