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. ...

Looking at a few KK lads yesterday John Leahy could well think about bringing in a Dietician in for the 2008/09 season!

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 was balling with the boredom all the way through the second half. My only memory is a bearded Offaly fella (Currams) on a solo run early on which must have...

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. Matt is double the hero he ever was (if that was possible) after reading his reflections on the injur...

Hate to be negative but its got that old school feeling to it. We could have done with someone like a Davy Fitz or a Kieran McGeeney (unproven I know) equivalent – someone who young players can relate to. Someone fresh from a Fitzgibbon type or County U-21 setup. I’m the bauld Joes biggest fan. Lord...

[quote="Offalyhurling07"]Daithi Regan is a disgrace. And to think that individual was involved with the county team. He is not fit to judge and should not make public comments unless he has full facts. The lads commit 100%, rarely go out drinking and give up their personal live for the lov...

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 ...
