St. Brigids & Ballycommon I know voted against it, so it wasn't unanimous. Not sure if any others did.
Rather ironically, the teams that the new format has benefited and cost from getting knockout places respectively.

Re: Next Offaly Senior Hurling Manager

Some will point to the fact that we are appointing another totally untested manager to add to the long list of them over the last 10 years. On the other hand he surely has plenty going for him in that he isn't long out of the game, has spent most his adult live being part of a winning outfit, and w...

Re: Senior A Hurling 2019

Hard to see past K/K or Rynaghs at this stage.. Unless one of the other improve. Birr were useless tonight they need to get everyone back for the knockout stages to have any chance of progressing. Rynaghs were on top for most of the game as the scoreline suggests. Who are Birr missing? As Shannon b...

Re: Senior A Football 2019

Read the report of the Shamrocks-Rhode game in the Tribune. Amazingly, both ‘keepers were substituted during the game. Surely a first, is it? I note that Ken Garry was withdrawn after 12 minutes and Brian Lowry after 63 minutes. Assuming both were injured, as there was no mention of black cards in t...

Re: Senior A Hurling 2019

Just on the fixtures, it’s hardly fair that Ferbane are hosting Lusmagh and C&R, while Belmont play Kinnitty at the same time in Mucklagh. Just saying …

Re: Senior A Football 2019

Interesting to see a home and away format being used in this year's Senior A championship. E.g Rhode are at home to Edenderry in Round 1. I actually thought it might just be this game with this arrangement as Rhode travelled to play Edenderry last year to play at the opening of Edenderry's new grou...

Not preempting anything, but maybe Frank had a crystal ball and called it early!
