well Gazza kelly was midfield last year again Birr and Rory Hannifffy won that contest Nigel White was only a sub last year James O 'Sullivan was the other midfielder whoSharp Eye wrote:St Rynaghs must have a great chance this year. I cannot see Coolderry or Birr being able to compete with their midfield sector. They also have 3 defenders on the county senior panel.
was taking off last year.
Coolderrys midfield of Kevin Brady and Kevin Teehan were very good last year in offaly and their all ireland run. also Birr could have Rory Hanniffy and maybe Dylan Hayden
or Sean Ryan centrefield this year so if you think Rynaghs Kelly and Nigel White are better hurlers or will come out on top of Coolderrys or Birrs midfield you will want to watch
hurling alot closer.
as for 3 defenders on the county panel will only one will make it Horan, but sure if you go by that seir kierans will win the championship with whats it 6 on the panel
Birr also have 3 who can play at the back for offaly this year, Cleary,Harding,Hanniffy, Mick Verney is out hurt at the moment which would have made 4 who were in the squad
for the league.
