Re: 2015 SFC Final - Edenderry vs. Rhode 11/10/15

Poor display from Edenderry against a poor rathnew side. If Rhode were playing today they would win pulling up , don't know what happened Rhode in the county final but there's no way Rathnew would beat them. Edenderry yet again were relying on kicking high ball into high tower at full forward and i...

Just a query on the IFC replay today, Bracknagh v Cappincur,. Any news on the result?

Re: What are they smoking in Birr?

You can include Killeigh, Geashill, Ballinagar, in that mix, as Na Fianna draw from those areas along with Killurin. Ah yeah, I was just picking Killurin as one example. Twas just to make the point that I don't care where the lads are from, as long as it's somewhere in between Moneygall and Johnsto...

Re: new offaly constituency?

You’d imagine the new Offaly constituency will return one Fianna Fáil, one Fine Gael, with the other seat between John Leahy and Carol Nolan. There’s quite an imbalance of candidates between east and west, and you’d think if the right candidate ran in South Offaly / North Tipperary that they’d stan...

Re: What are they smoking in Birr?

Also allstar maybe it's an indication while Cliodagh Gaels are doing well and Birr and the likes struggle maybe that's why Offaly hurling is poor cos the so called strong teams are not at the top anymore. I can understand why a lot of people believe this as it feels logical, yet there's no actual r...

Re: What are they smoking in Birr?

A true Offaly hurling supporter wouldn’t jeer at the difficulties of another hurling club, whether big, little or small, whether north, south or west. By doing so, Kelap, you've made a mockery of your own previous arguments. The county is too small for people to think we can get by with just a frac...

Re: new offaly constituency?

there is a general election coming soon, with LS/OY now split into two 3 seaters, with a little external added to each county. I am struggling to work out the new Offaly constituency. Until a few years ago 2 for FF would have been a safe bet.......would I be right in guessing that Barry Cowen is a ...

Re: Senior B Football Championship

Who will this weekend semi-finals and why. My penny's worth is that Raheen will beat Durrow, as Durrow have a real difficulty winning semi-finals. There is a lot of talk in Durrow that without Brian Geraghty they have no midfield and that this will cost them. In the other semi-final I think Tubber ...

Re: Offaly Hurling Championships 2015

Busy weekend. So only got to 5 games. Coolderry Vs Tullamore was poor enough. Coolderry were good but not great. Tullamore did well in the 1st 20 mins but after that there half back line disappeared. Joe Brady at centre back controlled the game. a game with little intense hurling. St. Rynagh vs Shi...

Re: €45,000 Development Fund

Has there ever been a breakdown of what this money was spent on last year? Or how this money will be spent this year. if I was a club delegate it would certainly be a question I would be asking at the next county board meeting. Maybe the "journalist" members of the forum could investigate...

Re: Offaly GAA Centre of Excellence

that's what you call ambition in Tyrone. And lets not kid ourselves here - 4 pitches and a walk way round them is not a centre of excellence. We had nothing last year. People were complaining about the lack of this facility, so this is a major step forward. No matter what the Co. board do, someone ...

Re: Offaly Hurling Championships 2015

That would be part of the double header, with the IHC final throwing in at 5.15pm. The Lusmagh lads will be checking out Sunday's Banagher Horse Fair earlier in the day. Suitably refuelled and refreshed, thoughts will later turn to the hurling, and hence the later throw-in time. The JHC. Final is l...
