Not sure what is in the collection (loads of various Offaly club and county match programmes) but I'm looking to off load them to a good home. More than fifty of them anyways if your interested

A superb performance by Birr yesterday who did what they had to do to win and made it count on the scoreboard. Like Bogman, I spent the game talking to the television, particularly the last fifteen minutes. Birr did what they do best, the tips, the flicks, the hooks and the blocks. However, while th...

A few thoughts on Birr v Ballyhale. At full strength Ballyhale are probably the best club team in the country. The fact that they retained their county title without the two injured superstars is a measure of their strength. That said it’s difficult to see them retain their All Ireland crown without...

Full panel, from OffalyToday.ie The full list sent out is as follows: Birr: Stephan Lonergan, Brian Lonergan, Sean Ryan, Michael Verney Ballyfore: Conor Evans Ballycommon: Mathew Brazill Clonbullogue: Willie Crampton, Greg Quinn Clara: John O'Hara, John Reynolds, Thomas Deehan, Kevin Meehan, Joe Qui...

Damien Martin played on the winning team in twelve finals. He retired after the 1986 final defeat but was sub when they won in 1987 (his thirteenth). Joe Dooley would also have twelve medals. I’m not sure if he played in all twelve though – perhaps he did. Eight ’Rynagh’s men who are in the photo fo...

Congrats and well done to Fullback. Tne tiara is yours for the next twlve months

Sometimes the old ways are the best. So it was at O’Connor Park yesterday where Birr, with their tried and trusted method of direct hurling, overcame a game but ultimately limited Kilcormac Killoughey side. When the match is broken down to its most basic, Birr beat them on their greater craft and cu...

The Offaly intermediate champions (or representatives, if the champions have a senior team) compete in the Leinster junior club championship. Therefore the junior winners do not qualify for the club championship. As far as I am aware, Ballinamere will be the Offaly representatives in the Leinster ju...

Continuing the build up, herewith the Irish Examiner's report on the 2002 final between Birr and Kilcormac Killoughey. Birr 3-12 Kilcormac/Killoughey 2-7 By Jim O’Sullivan AGAINST different opposition, Kilcormac/Killoughey might at least have been competitive over a longer period in yesterday’s Offa...

Continuing the build up to Sunday. . . Sunday will see the fourteenth meeting of Birr and Kilcormac Killoughey since the Kilcormac and Killoughey clubs amalgamated at the start of 1987. At the time Birr were also emerging from a very lean spell for them. Kilcormac Killoughey actually won the first c...

As a result of the unavoidable overrun of development work on the pitch at St. Brendan’s Park, this year’s Offaly senior hurling final will have an unusual setting, that of the new O’Connor Park. The new stadium added to the occasion at the recent football final and while regular hurling final visit...

Gavin Cummiskey in today's Irish Times reports that the proposed selectors are Aidan Fogarty, Paddy Kirwan and Joe Errity. So who's right?

I had heard in Toomevara that some club officers, acting without prior approval of the club, phoned Joe while he was en route to Toome to a training session to tell him he was no longer required.
