Offaly will compete in Division 1B of the league next year. The group will consist of:

Offaly
Dublin
Antrim
Westmeath
Laois
Waterford
Plus one more which most probably will be the loser of Cork v Wexford.

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

Bookies have it a 10 point spread. Anything less than that is a good day at the office. Cork if they get a run on us, wouldn’t be a team to let up. Inherent self-esteem issues due to a lack of senior success for 20 years while trying to maintain the facade of a traditional hurling county. But that’s...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

There is/are no Joe McDonagh semi-final(s).

The top 2 teams go directly to the final.

Cut throat.

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

As has already been discussed here, we won't stay up and next year we will be in a revamped Division 2. (Called 1B). It will be the perfect competitive environment for a developing Offaly team. As things stand it would consist of: Dublin Westmeath Antrim Cork Offaly Carlow Laois Be some kick in the ...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024

Very disappointing if true, that Cian Farrell has left the panel. Has the potential to be the best forward in the county and the centre point of our forward line.

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

Given that it's raining since January 2023 (with the exception of around three weeks in May/June last year), pitches are saturated, and have actually deteriorated in the last week. It'll be a while before double headers are a possibility again. On grass, that is. Heavy rain tomorrow (more of it) co...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

In the space of less than a month we are at home to both Clare in both hurling and football leagues. Surely someone somewhere in our CB brains trust might have thought about the possibility of a double header?

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

Indeed that is true. And all Divisions will operate a 2 up 2 down structure so relegation isn’t beyond the relams of possibilty.

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

Be very good developmental league for offaly, hopefully it will be named Div 1 and Div 2 etc and be a normal thing to do rather than 1 a, 1 b rubbish. It’s officially called Division 1B. Obviously to get it over the line they couldn’t have called it Division 2 because heaven forbid some of the bigg...
