There was some crowd in Nowlan Park for those games.
Offaly really blew it the first day.
Waterford got a real fill up from the drawn game and were more polished for the replay.

Sean Og Farrell was a class act. Was never given his chance at senior with Offaly which was a disgrace. There has always been this discrimination againat players from this end of the county. He has an All Ireland medal from '94 and won Junior hurling medals with Ballyfore ('96) and Edenderry ('98). The Ballyfore one was a 'C' or 'B' title I can't remember.

bracknaghboy,

You’re so far out by the side of it, it’s almost unbelievable. I’m not sure how well up you are on the happenings on the hurling scene so maybe this is just a throw away comment based on a bit of pub-talk or the like but I’d like to set you straight.

Outside of the winning panels of ’94 and ’98, it’s worth taking a look at some of the very good club hurlers who were given a run in the league and never quite made the final panel or who were not as lucky as Sean Og and never got the chance in the first place because they competed at a higher level in club championship and so were judged against a higher standard of opponent. It’s worth remembering that while Sean Og was a decent hurler, he didn’t get a lot of time on the field at senior level and this may have helped him as much as anything to get an All-Ireland medal.

I’m not sure whether you’re just naïve or trying to wind people up but comments about bias based on location are nonsense. The natural order of things in Offaly will always dictate that Tullamore acts as a mythical dividing line when it comes to selecting county panels and this is simply because most of the good hurling is played in the south of the county and most of the good football is played in the north of the county.

I'm very well up on the happenings on the hurling scene in Offaly. I've played in both Laois and Offaly. Sean Og Farrell is still playing (suspended at the moment) and has been one of the best hurlers in Offaly for the last 10 years. He was never given a proper chance on the county team due to the snobbery of the so called hurling end of the county.....they like to think of themselves as the elite....dilusional is a better word. Cillian Farrell is nother example. Hurling was flying in East Offaly in the 90's and none of our boys were given a fair shot at it. We had the following teams at various stages:

St. Bridgets
Rhode
Edenderry x 2 teams
Gracefield x 2 teams
Ballyfore
Daingean x 2 teams
Ballinagar even had a team for a year!

Nobody ever bothered to call any of these lads into the panel because they were not from the traditional hurling area. This is one of the reasons that hurling has died in these areas, only Gracefield and Edenderry have 1 team each now and they hang by a tread. I know some of the hurling lads will claim that the same snobbery/discrimination takes place this end in relation to footballers from the hurling areas and yes it does to a point (but as bad) and that is wrong. If a footballer from Crinkle is good enough then pick him. If a hurler from Edenderry is good enough then pick him.

this site is all about opinions but for you to say sean og farrel was one of the best hurlers in offaly in the past 10 years is crazy .he was a ok club player at best .as for the hurling and football divide you talk about it does exsist but thats the way it is in all the duel counties .if there is good enough hurlers in the so called areas and visa versa they will get a chance to prove they deserve a chance

[birr are magic]

sorry true red we can`t be all perfect like you . i suppose you won`t know much about it .
is the spelling all right for you today .

I AM NOT SHOUTING BORD NA MONA MAN

it`s crap to say that the only reason sean og didn`t play champonship hurling he played leauge
is because he`s from the football end of the county. his couisin cillian played in 98 against antrim
tullamore is a strong football town. kevin and p.j. martin played champonship as well .if you good enough you be picked.
