Re: New club football format

I presume the 4 losing Q-Finalists go into the relegation semi-finals??

If so, we could have the farcical situation where a team wins it’s group and gets relegated!!

Everyone qualifying is the adult version of a primary school sports day.

Re: Offaly Minor Football and Hurling 2023

I’m curious to know should it be 2 Lusmagh/Kinnitty,1 Seir Kieran/Drumcullen and 2 Shinrone/Ballyskenagh-Killavilla because we are discussing minor players?

Re: Offaly Senior A Hurling Championship 2023

Well if you go through the teams in the Senior A it’s hard see it. Seir Kieran - no chance Kinnitty - no chance Tullamore - no chance Belmont - Slight chance with everyone back fit and the thing going well Coolderry - no chance Birr - Slight chance with momentum behind them and Emmet Nolan and Eogha...

Re: Offaly Intermediate Club Hurling Championship 2023

I think that is very harsh they were more than competive senior in 22 and ran some teams under 10 points. The lack depth yes but I think they wouldn't be far off tullamore Kinnitty and Clareen. Thanks for that reasoned contribution. We are a small club providing sporting opportunities for our playe...

Re: Offaly Intermediate Club Hurling Championship 2023

Clodiagh Gaels have had a couple of seasons at Senior A and were out of their depth across them all. I can’t see any development changing that. For example the team who was relegated from Senior A this year beat CG by 17 points in the 2022 relegation final. So if the worst team in the 2023 senior ch...

Re: Offaly Intermediate Club Hurling Championship 2023

Clareen weren't defeated by Bray. In recent years Seir Kieran were the only team who I felt were equipped to do well in the Leinster Intermediate Championship. I was actually surprised they were defeated by Bray Emmets in 2019. Kinnitty may have also made decent progress in 2020 but Covid put paid ...

Re: Offaly Intermediate Club Hurling Championship 2023

Would be very surprised if Clodiagh Gaels turn over Kildalkey.

Re: U20 hurlers 23

Unsurprisingly K/K hammered Na Fianna tonight 5-22 to 1-06.

It will be the biggest shock in Offaly club hurling history if CRC manage to beat them in the final.

K/K will more than likely win 6 in a row up to and including 2025 and the championship in 2026 will see SBK start out as the favourites.

Lost by 13 and were without a couple of starters from county final including a possible medium term injury for Peter Geraghty I believe.

Re: Club football championship 2023

So you could feasibly pull a referee to the ground and only get 3 months. Bananas stuff.

Tullamore should grow a pair and suspend the player themselves.

A 12 month ban is fully merited. Absolutely shocking behaviour.
