Re: Club football championship 2023

Few have mentioned the standard of football today by both sides...it was as poor as the county final without the weather which makes it worse...Tullamore ferociously negative..didnt even try to push on when ahead...some bg names not being progressed with that shocking style of play..it says alot abo...

Donal 'O'Neill - RIP

Very sad news about former Offaly star passing away in recent days..a fine keeper for Offaly in barren times at senior level...of course U21 win in 1988 stands out and that great journey with 4 games V Wexford in Leinster final that year..he played Minor, U21 and senior for Offaly in 1985...I rememb...

Re: Offaly Senior A Hurling Championship 2023

I see people wondering will the game be on TG4, we got the football final on Tg4, I dont think we will be fortunate to get the hurling as well. Regarding the game itself, great to see a final back in Birr, it will be interesting to see (as which will happen)the atmosphere it will bring around the to...

Re: Offaly Senior A Hurling Championship 2023

Re: Offaly Senior A Hurling Championship 2023

hard to argue over KK..unbeaten, not spectacular but still won all group games and qualified directly for semifinal - that said the Banagher side will be a formidable outfit as always, especially when its their now old foe KK..its obviously all down to the scoreboard, and I think KK might just have ...

Re: Offaly Senior A Hurling Championship 2023

Your missing my point, my point is Drumcullen should not be playing Coolderrys second team in Drumcullens top tier which is as of now intermediate level, would it not be better leave Drumcullen with their own level of teams like C&R and other such teams, the winners (or both finalists) go up a ...

Re: Offaly Senior A Hurling Championship 2023

If a club X’s 1st team is incapable of beating Club Y’s 2nd team what business have they hurling Club Y’s 1st team? Therefore a grade below Senior for clubs made of 1st teams only is not feasible. For example Drumcullen lost to Coolderry’s 2nd team in the Intermediate Championship. Do you think Dru...

Re: Offaly Senior A Hurling Championship 2023

As always topic has slipped in another direction..in summary i suppose what i am asking is should club teams of Senior A status be competing in lower competitions..should these be only competed for by teams with no higher grade above them..basically you win your way to the top grade and get relegate...

Re: Offaly Senior A Hurling Championship 2023

Re: Offaly Senior A Hurling Championship 2023

an interesting debate indeed, very hard to see these rural clubs holding out if you could call it that..additionally such a scenario would also be a cancer to the intercounty prospects which is also in intensive care (excuse the medical terminology)at the moment despite small signs of improvement in...
