Re: Origins of Offaly colours
I’ve always recognised the difference between “Green, White and Gold” and the national flag colours of “Green, White and Orange”. The Gold looks so much brighter and better on jerseys.

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024
I will watching on TG4 on my phone as a work project has me out in Chicago just now. But memories of Thurles last year will give me a small sense of what the craic is like in Kilkenny. Have ye seen this on the former Twitter? https://x.com/offaly_gaa/status/1796192550144893338?s=46&t=r7YKnTT3TOP...

Re: Origins of Offaly colours
Ours is a very distinctive jersey and I’ve always been proud that it’s not shared with any other county.
But there are some clubs that use it in other counties. Glenswilly in Donegal - as sported by Micheal Murphy in his day, Carrickmore in Tyrone.
Any other notable ones?

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
Thanks to substandard for the best reply posted here. I am also distanced from the Offaly environment now for many years, and I know I’m so lucky to be able to remember the Glory Days. I’m happy to accept lower levels these days. Was yesterday’s result just an aberration? A freak? We’ve been better ...

Re: Liam Kearns - R.I.P.
Terrible news to hear this last night. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.
Also to the Offaly team and staff who have been working with him most recently.

Re: Offaly Senior Football Team - Championship 2022
Terribly disappointing day yesterday. There was a sizable Offaly support that travelled down; Wexford would probably be disappointed with their own following so just goes to prove that Hurling is their big focus. Offaly looked like a small team against some big men. Despite that, we must have broke ...

Re: U20 "22
First - its good to see that most/all of the posts above are positive and supporting of the U20 team's performance last night. That is what is needed more than ever in Offaly, that we encourage the good green shoots when we have them. Second - it was a good performance overall, still playing nice at...

Leinster Football Championship 2022
We have drawn to play Wexford first (at home). If we can negotiate that hurdle, then it will be the Dubs. https://www.rte.ie/sport/gaa/2021/1127/1263526-2022-championship-mayo-and-galway-set-to-meet/ I think the Qualifiers are back to the "old" format for next year, which generally favours...

Re: O'Connor Park lease debacle
I recall that McHale Park in Castlebar is also owned by the local club. According to the "irrefutable" authority of Wikipedia (in fairness, it references the Western People newspaper), in 2005, the County Board agreed a 50 Year Lease on the stadium before embarking on their Upgrade work. N...

Re: Offaly vs Louth 2021 Leinster Football Championship
We made harder work of that than I was hoping or expecting. However, we learned how to take our goal chances and got our just desserts in the end. Big well done to the Offaly team. Lots of players got a run (or a couple of sessions) today and did quite well. I did not think that starting Niall would...

Re: Div 3 South predictions & general comment
Some interesting team changes. It will make for an interesting comparison with the last performance, and to see who actually finishes the game.

Re: Offaly Hurling 2020
We cant even reach the Final of Christy Ring Cup (3rd Tier).
If dropping down to this level was hoped to be an aberration last year, not bouncing back is the proof of our level. Can we accept that?
