Re: Offaly management 2027


Maybe the county board will think outside the box and make an approach to Cieran Kilkenny.


He is half Offaly. There are potential pitfalls. All through his career in Dublin he's had an army in flunkies in the backroom team laying everything out for him. He just had to get to the training ground ...

Re: Offaly management 2027


Colm Colins would be a very worthwhile person to interview I feel. His track record with Clare with their similiar geographical divide to Offaly regarding hurling and football would be a valuable asset.


Collins worked so well because he was a passionate Clare man. He stuck the course so long ...

Re: Offaly management 2027

I fully agree that Offaly are an attractive prospect, especially for an up-and-coming manager looking to build a reputation.

Cultivating the right dressing room spirit will be key, the drill sergeant approach just doesn't cut it as well nowadays. While a big county can get away with player ...

Re: Offaly management 2027




I think the reality in offaly is that unrealistic expectations will make it impossible for any manager.. weve just got rid of the only manager who had any kind of success over the last 20 years with offaly and not only that but he has been destroyed and completely disrespected by some people ...

Re: Offaly management 2027


Colm O Rourke and McEntee from Meath being linked to the job.


Unlikely the search has even got off the ground. Neither would (or at least should) be contenders.
O'Rourke had a go at management. It didn't work out. I doubt he is interested in going again.
McEntee is not the type of character to ...

Re: Offaly management 2027

The lads have taken the right option.
2025 was a successful year, but 2026 didn't work out for them and a change was needed.

Re: Offaly Hurling 2026



I had a chuckle at Cork’s demise this year. Quite simply because they thought Bin O’Connor’s nasty edge was going to put steel into windy players. All it did was increase their capacity to pick up cheap red cards, it did nothing to help their brittleness.

If they thought Bin’s 2023 sledgefest ...

Re: Offaly management 2027


Offaly were promoted out of division 3 in 2021 by winning a mini group during covid lockdown, wasn't a proper league.
Offaly got to the semi finals in 2021 and were hammered by the afore mentioned westmeath.
Better underage supply line? Offaly u20s hammered by westmeath twice last time they played ...

Re: Offaly management 2027



Rightly or wrongly, rumours doing rounds that Harte and Kelly are back in for another 3 years. No idea re the depth of the truth to this. Anyone have any knowledge or any thoughts?


Think this is pretty much confirmed from what Ive heard. The lads have got rid of the shite and the player power ...
