All-Ireland Hurling Qualifiers Round 1 Antrim v Offaly

[Killeighman]

Yeah i heard the team will play that way too kaiserchief

[Up The Faithful]

Personally I think Brian Whelahan picked a very strong team to play Antrim.
Firstly the starting 15 is very unpredictable in which way they will line out..Rumours were going around that David Kenny played full forward in a recent practice match, so maybe he will start on the edge of the square.
The players in which Whelahan has brought in says a lot about what way Offaly will hurl..Players like Ger Healion, David Kenny, Colin Egan and Kevin Brady are tall strong and physical, you can expect Offaly not allowing Antrim win any 50/50 ball easily. Offaly will be very physical and will hope to use our aerial threat.
It is clear from this selection and in the previous games selection, Brian Whelahan realised things needed to change and infairness too him he is not afraid to ring the changes.
Expect a full hearted game from all involved as the team have a point to prove

400 years on and some people haven't learned the lessons of the Battle of Kinsale.

From what I hear the team won't play as picked.

ye are all wrong, just heard the way they are going to line out Eugene Coughlan @3 Paddy Delaney @6 Joachim Kelly @8 Mark Corrigan @12 and Jim Troy cause Dempsey was cat the last day out. Revenge for '89!

Good man yerself, why don't you ring Kevin Ryan and let him know while you're at it!

[Plain of the Herbs]

Kaiserchief, Killeighman, Sam, any chance ye'd make yereselves useful and let us know how Antrim propose to line out?

Killeighman, anyone suffering from any grave illnesses you'd like to inform us of, before anyone's family finds out.

[Kevin]

Let's go get 'em!!!!

COME ON OFFALY!!!!!

[Killeighman]

Good man POTH. One can only go on what he was told by an official close to the team. Do you think i would really make that up like? I have a bit more sense than that. The offaly county players are right in what they are saying by people throwing digs at people from behind screens on this. I know where im not wanted and i wont be back for a while

[stand back]

Offaly 10 antrim 13 halftime score

[biffinbanner]

never in doubt!! well dont to all involved

[backofthenet]

Sounds like Offaly missed 6 or 7 easy goal chances on the radio so they won it the hard way but at least a bit of pride is restored after midweek

[biffinbanner]

no harm bt them that way after all the crack they went on with in the league

[kingscounty]

A win at last , well done and keep her lit for the weeks ahead .

[allstar2010]

Super result, not easy to get a win up there. Fair play lads, just enjoy the next day and get what ye can out of it. Sean Cleary I owe ya a pint, had the -1 handicap

[sam88885a]
