Re: 2nd level schools
Speaking from the outside here as one who spent 6 years in one of those often maligned Leinster Rugby Schools it seems to me that there is nowhere near the level of interest from past pupils and say , local feeder clubs in the performance of the schools teams in my part of Offaly as there is in othe...

Hear hear lads The young fella with the red hair and quiff who wrote ‘history of the IRA in Offaly’ was talking a whole load of manure from a historian’s perspective. The type of lad who would be easily convinced by pubtalk making the war of Independence seem like the Fionn McCool never-never land. ...

I must confess, the same happened to me as Clocker on the day, only it was my own doing. I was on my auld lads lap aged 5 in the Upper Cusack.

I though that was a misprint for Croghan Hill all along. 1. Class story of Thomas Connor and the steak the engine. 2. Clarifies for all about the pub talk stories about Seamus Darby’s life since. 3.

Hate to be negative but its got that old school feeling to it.

Sundays v Leix
Its disturbing that we are at such a low ebb that taking Leix is being made look like our Waterloo. I always hoped we'd remain at a level that could coast againt the laois'es of this world. A Bad result last night for the minors last night doesnt help the current gloom we find ourselves in. Im been ...
