Re: Club Hurling championship
Jeez lads don't be listening to me about hurling! 50-50 game with Clough and Ballyhale I said earlier in the week. Instead we got a record breaking demolition. Ballyhale played quick direct ball into their forwards knowing well they had the beating of that Clough defence in the air and physically. ...

Re: Club Hurling championship
This Saturday, 1pm start in OCP against Kildalkey, Meath senior champions. Looks like a very tough one to call on paper. Seir Kieran beat these quite well two years ago, but Clodiagh Gaels mightn't quite be at that level, while by all accounts Kildalkey have got stronger since then. Clara, Shamrocks...

Re: Leinster Football Championship 2022
Hone and away arrangements make sense when playing Laois or Westmeath. Not when travelling to Wexford. It was a financial decision at the time as we were practically broke due to the development of OCP. By far the most common neutral venues for Offaly vs Wexford championship games were Croke Park a...

Re: Club Hurling championship
Reading some of the posts on here, it's as if people are taking it as some sort of slight on the people of St. Rynagh's and Coolderry that the county final is being described as a poor game. Nobody is going to stand here and argue for the right to be abusive or insulting towards either individuals o...

Re: Club Hurling championship
You'd have to imagine David King will be in the mix. Probably was the best player on the field today as well, but it would be a fairly cruel form of torture to ask a Coolderry lad to go up and collect a man of the match award and smile for pictures with sponsors in the middle of the celebrating Ryn...

Re: Offaly Senior Football Championship 2021
Just to pick up on Bracknaghboy's post above, if Niall McNamee is interested in togging out for Offaly in 2022, then absolutely, he should be welcomed to the panel with open arms and he would have a meaningful role to play. He's spent far too long in his career playing Division Three and Division Fo...

Re: Offaly Senior Football Championship 2021
Absolutely zero chance of Leinster changing their fixture, it's for Offaly to decide if they want to put back the SHC "B" final a week. Right now I'd consider it unlikely that they'd do that for any club - and are they more or less likely than that to do it for Tullamore in particular? Tha...

Re: Offaly Senior Football Championship 2021
I'm genuinely curious as to whether or not McNamee's reprieve will be a good thing for Rhode or not. Obviously every Rhode person will have to say out loud that he's a hugely positive influence on the team and on the game, yet there's no doubt that against a team with the mobility and pace of Tullam...

Re: SHC Round 5 Venue Roulette
But how can that happen? If you only play the teams in the other group, then it's impossible to tie with someone you've already played, no?
Or is it that the top four teams qualify, regardless of what group they come from?

Re: SHC Round 5 Venue Roulette
I think it boils down to the fact that we have 9 teams who are Senior standard in Offaly and when it comes down to it none of those 9 want to be on the outside of an 8 man tent looking in, as was the case for Seir Kieran in 2019 and Kinnitty in 2020. This is pretty much the case - however the probl...

Re: SHC Round 5 Venue Roulette
Interesting premise. Actually, considering the geography involved, surely there would be a case to saying to the clubs involved in at least two of the games (KK vs Drumcullen, Clareen vs Coolderry, maybe even Shinrone vs Kinnitty and Birr vs Rynaghs) if they'd be interested in tossing a coin for hom...

Thank you. Hadn't seen that, and that does change the landscape a little bit all right.

Re: O'Connor Park lease debacle
Kevin Corrigan has his say here. County finals can be played in SBP Kevin. It can hold over 8,000 people. Not being smart, but can it? Last I heard the number was around 5,500. I'm absolutely open to being told otherwise, but Birr have kept it very quiet if they've made improvements to allow that s...
