Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

Offaly used 21 players in last year’s Joe McDonagh final. Stephen Corcoran - now sub goalie. Dara Maher - sent off early on and has never regained his spot. Ciaran Burke - still no.3. Ben Conneely - still no.4. David King - briefly dropped out of starting team but good performances against Laois and...

That's a 1 point handicap.

I'd expect Offaly to go off as 3 or 4 point favourites and closer to 1/2.
As expected, Offaly open at 4/5 and -1 on the handicap.

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

Yeah you'd expect the team on the stronger side , I'd say Wednesday will have a bearing on it one way or the other. Not sure we need to bring our key key players on a 4 hour round trip to northeast down. That drive would'nt do any of our hips and hamstrings any good let alone lads playing week in a...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

Just a thought what are the chances of cormac egan being drafted in for the hurling if football is finished or can that even happen if the request was made by johny Kelly Just thinking on the basis we have a few players with injuries just his addition to the under 20 last year was brilliant great p...

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024

There is absolutely no team selection dilemma for Johnny Kelly. There shouldn’t be but I’d imagine Kelly will want to play them as his job is gone if they lose. Which if comes to pass shows Johnny Kelly is more concerned about his own managerial career than the development of Offaly hurling. All U2...

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024

A lot of commenters on the Kilkenny GAA forum saying that senior management and the county board were unaware that the new 60-hour rule is not yet in place and that Doyle would be ineligible for this evening. It was discussed at a KK county board meeting last night. What makes it all the more comica...

I know there is a Carlow supporter here the odd time. Congrats on the result versus your near neighbours. Like ourselves, hurling mad and always longing for a day in the sun. Fully deserved result on Saturday versus Kilkenny and I hope they push on against Wexford and Antrim. Don't get me wrong, las...
