Re: Offaly Senior A Hurling Championship 2023

And there it is, article 2 in the Adult Championship regulations. “Players who played on the winning team in Senior B, Intermediate and Junior championship finals shall be considered to be of Senior, Senior B and Intermediate status respectively for the following year’s championships, unless they ha...

Re: Proposed change to age grades at both county and club level

Yes, I did include Cappincur, and I note the points you make. I admit I wouldn’t be overly familiar with the area, but I do recall Cappincur were a driver of St Vincent’s successes of a decade ago, and I find it hard to believe the population of the area would have grown old in the meantime, with re...

Re: Proposed change to age grades at both county and club level

Having read the report on the exchange at the County Board meeting, I got the impression that is what the board are at, focussing on the larger clubs. Cappincur being the case in point. It beggars belief that Cappincur can claim not to have numbers at Go Games level, when Ballinamere-Durrow (to pick...

Re: Junior A Hurling Championship 2023

Kilcormac's interest in Junior B was ended by Gracefield last Sunday. So the Grand Slam aspirations are over for this year. And no, the same teams opposing each other in championship finals in three adult grades has never happened here. Are KK still in the junior B? If so, there’s a fair chance chan...

Re: Offaly Senior B Hurling Championship 2023

A bit of everything. Three distinct Kelly families on the list, four sets of brothers (off the top of my head) and a father and son. Seven Kellys started. I think the record is eight (in 1986), something Shinrone equalled with the Clearys in recent years. I saw the Lusmagh panel listed online. From ...

Re: Offaly Senior A Hurling Championship 2023

Not necessarily. Only recent precedent is around a decade ago when Rhode won the Intermediate football, Shamrocks were still relegated and there were 11 Senior clubs the following year. But there was no relegation at the end of that year. Nothing in the competition regulations on the matter. Do clar...

Probably two weeks later. Gracefield still involved in Junior B hurling.

Re: Offaly Senior B Hurling Championship 2023

First and foremost, Kilcormac were awesome yesterday. I’ve seen them a few times this year and there was nothing to suggest this performance was in them. They are presumably training with the Seniors. If so, it is evident that their training has ramped up in pace in recent weeks. A real urgency to t...

Previous semi-finals

This is just the fourth time Ferbane and Rhode were semi-final opponents, something that surprised me. The score in the previous three were:- In 1971, Ferbane were 0-8 to 0-7 winners In 1972, defending champions Ferbane were 1-14 to 1-9 winners Last year, they drew AET, Rhode 0-17 Ferbane 1-14, and ...

Re: Club football championship 2023

I imagine Gracefield top the group, and Clonbullogue play Ballycumber in a reconstituted quarter final. Ballycommon v Welsh Island is not affected. But that'd be a guess on my part. The value to Gracefield is they avoid Cappincur until the final. They could still get Clonbullogue in a semi-final, th...

Re: Club football championship 2023

I've just seen the relevant section of the updated Treóraí Oifigiúil (following the amendment at Congress) and I can see a paragraph that states "except where provided for otherwise in County Bye-Law or Competition Regulations." I actually wasn't aware of that clause. Means the older versi...

Re: Club football championship 2023

The issue is caused by the championship regulations not being updated for the change to scoring difference voted on at Congress. I am depending on local media reports here. The full DRA judgment will reveal all, when published in due course. Incorrect. It will have no effect on any club championship...

Re: Club football championship 2023

And the DRA decision still doesn't reconcile with the inability of a county bye-law to override something in Treoraí Oifigiúil.

I believe there is scope here for a counter objection.

Re: Club football championship 2023

Not sure of this, but my understanding is they would have been approved at a monthly County Board meeting. Thing is, if tjis was the case, flawed regulations were presented to the clubs at that meeting. I wonder would this regulation change have to be done by county boards before championship’s comm...
