I agree about Eoghan Cahill the last two matches, I will say apart from the first two frees against Kilkenny he hasn’t put a foot wrong, every free is crucial and knowing that he is lethal fills the rest with confidence. We did miss a few in the first match against Dublin.

As for Liam hoare, his ...

Firstly well done to all for a massive result, just like the Dublin game we could have won but equally could easily have lost. After Cahill missed the first two frees and not really involved I must admit I was thinking they need to get him off, shows you what I know. He didn’t miss one after and the ...

It’s a long time for all supporters to be leaving O Connor Park for a senior hurling game to be as happy as when we left yesterday. The effort all over the field was unreal, even at half time I thought cut out the frees and we had every chance of winning, 1 goal in the league and 4 yesterday. The ...

The only positive that can be said is that we only conceded 3 goals, Laois could easily have had 3-4 more while we had one or two half chances at best to score.

We were wide open when Laois came at us, very obvious at a very early stage but nothing done to stop it repeating again and again.

One ...

I think the papers and then personnel built ballinamere up a lot, in fairness though on paper they should be doing better.

Going back to last year they drew with birr, first game so wouldn’t make too much of it, but a real 50:50 game that could have gone anyway. Not sure of the order but got across ...

I think the long year with colleges/ Offaly are having an effect on Ballinamere. Being without these players meant a poor league and are probably short 2-3 players to win a championship. This along with the fact that most are duel players with durrow is having an effect, now Durrow play rhode next ...

Can’t comment on the match but I really do think they should give promoted teams a 2 year stay, tullamore could be playing senior b this year but have instead driven on which from a neutral is fantastic. They have a good blend of youth and lads with a good few miles on the clock.

If kk weren’t in ...

Looking at one large bookmaker, kk are 1/4, coolderry are next favourites at 5/1 and then ballinamere, rynaghs and birr at 16/1.

Ballinamere at 16/1 looks too good a price to turn down, how are coolderry at 5/1 also.

Well done all today on winning. It wasn’t pretty and nerves and weather did have a major influence. The result is all that matters.

Enjoy the well earned break and the experience of this year should stand to all.

If he has left the panel then all I say is hopefully he joins it for 2026. Do I think we would have won the Joe Mcdonagh without him, I doubt it. When offaly were at the lowest kiely came back and gave everything to the jersey.

The level of time and commitment now given is crazy, add in ...

Providing how Wexford do in other matches, if we beat Wexford and Antrim beat us it will go to scoring difference providing all teams lose to kk, Galway and Dublin.

I was trying to look at how it went so wrong yesterday, was it just a case of we had a bad day or did Galway just click into gear.

I think management have to put their hands up, our back line was under serious pressure and getting absolutely roasted. Could a sweeper have been played, a sideline on ...

The two goals before half time changed the whole game and second half was easily managed by Galway.

Overall thought we were second best in a lot of areas, marking was poor and a Galway man in loads of spaces with no one around him multiple times.

On the positive note in 4-5 weeks time we should ...

Duggan has a capacity of 3k, got my ticket already just to be sure.

5-6 weeks before the knockout begins but topping that group, getting a direct route to the semi finals and being on opposite sides of the draw with winner of other group will be advantageous.

For such a small county we must be ...

Fantastic to get promotion, that was the objective and division 2 will be a step up but one that we shouldn’t feel out of place in. Are Louth, Meath, Kildare to be feared?

As for the game today it was all about getting a result, nothing else mattered. Clare were always going to throw everything at ...
