Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

A very credible Offaly display today. The two Stephen Bennett goals were such a killer, especially the first one given it came out of a free that wasn’t lifted. Cillian Kiely’s repeated wides in the first half didn’t help either. Overall, a lot of positives with Ciaran Burke, Jason Sampson, Catal ki...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024

If we had taken John Furlong’s goal chance it might be a different result tonight. Brilliant run by JF but he had Cormac egan inside and should have given it to him. Think we were a point up at that stage and playing well.

Then of course they went down the field and got their goal. Game over then.

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

I see the senior hurlers have declined a ‘holiday’ and will put the funds (60,000 euro reported) into training. Whether it’s a statement of commitment, intent or just a PR stunt, I applaud the team and all involved. It’s a very positive message. UP OFFALY!!! To be honest, I’m not so sure it’s a goo...

Re: JP McManus donation

It'll make little or no difference in the long run I fear. Clubs will squander the money on managers, performance coaches, statisticians and God knows what else for their adult teams. Some of the figures been handed to managers is truely appalling. It surely can't be sustainable. I’ll send on our I...

Re: Offaly Senior A Hurling Championship 2023

Two very contrasting styles, kk with no plan, just hit the ball up the field. OLG played the ball smart, to the man. Did Adam screeney hit the ball in open play? Not his fault as there seemed like no plan to give him the ball he needed. Kk mgt very poor and the lack of tactics with such a talented ...

Re: New club football format

Why was it not advised to the clubs beforehand so they could have meaningful discussions at club level and the delegates would vote thereafter on the club’s decision (similar to rhr u17/18 vote). It meant the the delegates were asked to vote on something that had not been discussed or advised in adv...

Re: New club football format

I’d say that this decision will come back to bite Michael Duignan when he runs for president.

Whilst it’ll only take one year for everyone to realise what a ridiculous structure it is, I don’t think it’ll be forgotten in a year.
