Unfortunately Eoin Byrne has left the u/21 squad. I thought that he was a cert for this team and will be missed.

Tough enough group for Rhode. Alot depends on the who plays who first. I'd expect Rhode to top the group with a battle royalebetween Tullamore and The Town for the runners up. Shamrocks and Clara have easy groups. It could be a repeat of last years final. 3 in a row is not easily done but Rhode have...

Its hard to see beyond Rhode, but they are looking at a Leinster now, so they could be caught napping at the semi final stage. Croghan have some nice footballers but not enough of them and are looking to get to a quarter final at least. Tullamore will always be a dangerous opponent as will Edenderry...

Both can get to the Leinster Final and anything other would be a big failing. Both managers are under pressure to get the best out of their teams.

Offaly v Cork predictions

Well, what do you think???. I reckon that the bookies have this game as an even money bet. a draw last year in Tullamore, both teams could have won. Cork beat an average Kerry team last Sunday while we stayed in the dressing room in Navan for the first half. If 'Killer' picks the strongest available...

in reply to True Red, just forget about Froggy. His day is gone. Against Edenderry i would say that it was just one of Rhode's poor display's in the Offaly Championship. Cassidy, fair enough did concede 1-05, but like the rest of the backs, they improved greatly as the year went on

Forget about Froggy for this year, he was not great last year (that's my opinion). I think that Cassidy from Rhode deserves a run, he was excellent against Kilmacud in both matches and in all Rhode matches. he's had some tricky customers to mark and did well, also he is used to having Sullivan besid...

What team will Kilmurry pick, will he stick with last Sunday's team or will he include the Rhode lads?????. The team that started against Louth would be in for a tough time against a very strong Laois team and I feel would struggle to be within 8 points of them. I feel that he should start his best ...

It will be very disappointing if Offaly fail to stay up. Kilmurry should ensure that Offaly get off to the best possible start and beat Cork at home. The home matches which are ok say bar Tyrone and are all winnable. My predictions are Offaly/Cork = home win, Mayo/Offaly = probably Mayo, but no grea...

I agree that Crokes were the better side over the 2 legs, but only marginally and both games were there to be won by Rhode. Rhode backs who were magnigicent should have been a bit more agressive especially with Vaughan and maybe to a lesser extent with Cosgrave. Imagine what former Rhode greats like...
