Re: Kids dropped from development squad
Contrast that to the report in the midland tribune dated Saturday 9th April, another GAA reporter (name escapes me honestly) reported on Offalys Ladies Division 4 league final win over Limerick. The team were struggling at half time, and brought on a star player, whom management did not start as sh...

Re: National Foothall league Div 2 predictions
There's no way Offaly went out to lose that game, but a couple of selection choices sent out clear signals all the same. Lee Pearson was outstanding in Newry, even though he's one of the younger players by a distance. If the Cork game was last Sunday, I've no doubt he'd have started. Johnny Moloney ...

Re: League & Championship hurling 2022
As an aside a group of 8 with one team qualifying, as is the case in the Division 1 league is no way to promote a competition. A good few years ago now, I was involved with a review group for Offaly fixtures, and I presented to a county board meeting some findings that involved a few ideas. Two quo...

Re: National Foothall league Div 2 predictions
Lone shark or posters....what is the best Offaly 15 within the county no injuries and eveyone available to the panel I'm interested to know. You can include farrell Cunningham Brazil if you wish. I mean, I know what you're trying to say, but surely you see how irrelevant that is? Not alone that, it...

Re: National Foothall league Div 2 predictions
From listening on radio laz molloy was saying colm doyle was very poor? Thought pearson would have been worth a run based on recent form Maybe looking for a spot for his own club man who was taken off very early - wouldn't surprise me at all. Doyle is a good player, nothing Flash but does basics we...

Re: National Foothall league Div 2 predictions
I don’t agree with throwing in the u20s for the sake of it , these young players need to physically read for senior and in my opinion some of these lad are ready to compete at senior yet . Horses for courses young carroll was three weeks over age for last year u20 all Ireland winning team and he’s ...

Re: National Foothall league Div 2 predictions
Jaysus but there's some daft stuff on this thread about this game. When it comes to lads that are still U-20 in 2022, I take the point that U-20 is probably the place for them, and Cormac Egan in particular would be a man who is playing a crazy amount of sport and isn't yet at the level to make a di...

Re: National Foothall league Div 2 predictions
I was on duty elsewhere today so I haven't had a chance to see any of the highlights of the game, but I will say this - you could play well in a place like Ennis, and still not get anything from the game. Clare are a solid, consistent Division Two team for basically a decade now and while I'd certai...

Re: Club Hurling championship
Jeez lads don't be listening to me about hurling! 50-50 game with Clough and Ballyhale I said earlier in the week. Instead we got a record breaking demolition. Ballyhale played quick direct ball into their forwards knowing well they had the beating of that Clough defence in the air and physically. ...

Re: Club Hurling championship
This Saturday, 1pm start in OCP against Kildalkey, Meath senior champions. Looks like a very tough one to call on paper. Seir Kieran beat these quite well two years ago, but Clodiagh Gaels mightn't quite be at that level, while by all accounts Kildalkey have got stronger since then. Clara, Shamrocks...

Re: Leinster Football Championship 2022
Hone and away arrangements make sense when playing Laois or Westmeath. Not when travelling to Wexford. It was a financial decision at the time as we were practically broke due to the development of OCP. By far the most common neutral venues for Offaly vs Wexford championship games were Croke Park a...

Re: Club Hurling championship
Reading some of the posts on here, it's as if people are taking it as some sort of slight on the people of St. Rynagh's and Coolderry that the county final is being described as a poor game. Nobody is going to stand here and argue for the right to be abusive or insulting towards either individuals o...

Re: Club Hurling championship
You'd have to imagine David King will be in the mix. Probably was the best player on the field today as well, but it would be a fairly cruel form of torture to ask a Coolderry lad to go up and collect a man of the match award and smile for pictures with sponsors in the middle of the celebrating Ryn...
