Its a sign of the times plain. it is a direct correlation with the level of hurler we have produced over last 10 years at development squad level. Our system is poor if not non existent. Outside Offaly, Westmeath and Laoise would be considered way ahead of us in terms of developing players. The youn...

That is an absolute pasting. While Longford would b strong at this level, no Offaly team should take a beating like that from Longford. Were Offaly at full strength? I see we still qualify for an away semi v westmeath given we won the first two games.

Context is everything lads. Yes there was a great crowd and lads need to feel supported in a county jersey so all Walsh cup games in my mind should always be played in Birr - along possibly smaller leage games (Kerry etc) with more county finals (not senior) and more senior club games in general. It...

Thought Offaly had the better ball players today by good distance. Kildare physicality was fairly impressive even if they have limited enough lads football wise playing. If Offaly can improve the athleticism and get a bit more cohesion in forwards we'd have won handy. Missed large amount of score ch...

I would imagine it is all the schools combined bar Birr who always play in the A competition on their own. Not sure about players but would assume theyd have bulk of county minor team outside of Birr lads.

Hard to fathom Conor Mahon not making an Offaly panel? or was it Con Mahon that played at corner back for KK last year that didn't make it?

Just wondering if the following are involved this year? Well good enough to contribute but may have opted to stay away from it..... Anybody know? that said best of luck to all involved..... Sean Gardiner Lusmagh Steven Egan Tullamore Tom Spain Brosna Gaels Sean Coughlan Kinnity Cathal Parlon Coolder...

Have been thinking about this lately. Offaly people seem to be now in a state of mind where they no longer feel they are as knowledgeable about hurling as Kilkenny folk. It isnt that long ago to a time where Kilkenny feared drawing Offaly in Leinster as Offaly regularly had the upper hand during the...

Will be interesting to see how Danny Owens gets on with Westmeath minors - has developed a big rep with KK so will be interesting to see how he gets on at inter-county. Could be the next Offaly manager. Kevin Martin has enhanced his reputation winning this year with Clogh Ballycolla in Laois and the...

just as well it was called off. the game would have been destroyed by the wind yesterday. It may not have been solely a co board decision. As said already, leinster GAA run both of these competitions.

I think this year proved to a degree that 1 group of 8 doesn't work! 2 x 4 will be run over shorter period with more meaning to each game! To me it is better that teams enter a competition with a genuine chance of winning it! That wasnt happening for many teams in last 10 years. St Brigids and Walsh...

Absolutely, Sean Doyle deserves the accolade. While it is unusual to have a non county senior win the senior award, Edenderry would have won nothing this year without Doyle. He was the key forward in the county final and in the Leinster game v Rathnew he was on fire kicking 7 or 8 points from play. ...

Has this turned into a bit of a farce. Heard it was on Newstalk this morning that Declan Kelly was appointed without consent and that he had withdrawn from position already. Can anyone confirm or what has gone on here at all? If it is true, it again portrays Offaly GAA in bad light across the media.

I don't buy into this idea that games in Birr would be better attended................... The evidence shows a big increase in Gate Receipts after move to Tullamore,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Now is that down to more people or less scamming I have no idea but those true South Offaly Hurling Folk might enl...
