Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024

The level of enthusiasm across the county for hurling is at an all time high. Just passed through the footballing heartlands of Rhode and Croghan, with two lads in their teens carrying hurls over their shoulders, before witnessing three lads of no more than 8/9 in Croghan school out pucking around....

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024

An excellent post Glendossaun, capturing the spirit of Offaly, in our resilience and refusal to accept the fact we are a small county, prevent us from seeking to claim our spot at the top in sport, including Gaelic games, and in golf Shane Lowry is one of the world’s top golfers. We are all proud of...

Re: Origins of Offaly colours

Duffry Rovers in Wexford; Bride Rovers in Cork; one of the Antrim clubs, either Glenarm or Glenarrif, I can't recall which. The old Killavilla club, prior to the merger with Ballyskenagh. Ours is a very distinctive jersey and I’ve always been proud that it’s not shared with any other county. But th...

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024

I will watch the game on TG4, as per the Leinster Final. The trip to Nowlan Park, and the delays, hustle etc, is for the younger fans. Good wishes to the entire squad and management on Saturday.
The topic of fans who just turn up at finals, and never again has long been a problem.

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024

For the first time ever, I found myself shouting for Tipp this evening. Partly because of last years antics from Cork, partly because Cork looked the better side this evening and mostly because I want our lads to beat Tipp! Cork looked very athletic and strong and ran at Tipp at every opportunity. ...

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024

Cork hurling is on a real roll at the moment. How long it lasts is another matter. On the other hand Tipp are in bother. After an 18 point senior defeat to Cork and the 2 Johnnies getting the chop from 2FM, the U20s will want to give the county a lift. I thought the exit of the two Johnnies from 2F...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

If I was offaly I'd be looking to finish on a win and best way to do that is to go with your best team. Last year offaly were within their rights to do as they pleased. But it was almost an entire new team and were well bet. Offaly have momentum. Its important to keep that going . Offaly have to wi...

Offaly and tipp be playing tailteann that Saturday and cork footballers must be also out to. I'm not sure just a thought.
Aren’t Offaly footballers out of the running in the Tailteann Cup?
