Was pleasantly surprised by minute 35-55 against Waterford, more than held our own and actually scored more playing into a gale. Two goals in a minute really killed any momentum we had built in the first half. Kiely’s 4 or 5 first half wides were also demoralising, but as pointed out here already, t...

Rory Egan was in goals for UG.

I'd imagine Egan and Donoghue would be playing if fully fit, both back after long-term injury trouble and 3 games a week would be recipe for disaster

Very impressed with Banagher on Saturday. Seemed to be a bit of complacency with our Birr lads having beat Banagher by 12 in the group. Although I am told that took place the morning after St Rynaghs had won the minor a football, with St Brendan’s unwilling to move the hurling. Shane Rigney was head...

Can't comment on the first half as I was at a funeral Second half I think the corpse could have Got a game . Very disjointed team in my book Westmeath clinical as usual even without there talisman. Going to be a long division 3 Belfast next week at least the pints are cheap Onwards and upwards 👍🤗 I...

First of the year soft day My own thoughts No deccie hogan , jack mcevoy and ruairi mac not starting Feels like the dawn of a new era Lets get a bit of chat going round this lads, feels like this is a team we can all get behind. Been asking to freshen things up for years and we have it now. Pearson...

Following on from Luke Watkins’ controversial transfer from Ballyskenagh/Killavilla to Shinrone the Carney twins are now looking to follow the same path. If you were a member of Ballyskenagh/Killavilla you’d have to fairly disillusioned with all this. https://www.offalyexpress.ie/news/gaa/1403598/t...

Charlie Mitchell went well tonight for NUIG. Are we a bit light this year with sigerson/fitzgibbon involvement in comparison to recent years? Cathal King started at corner back for SETU Waterford last night against DCU. Sam Bourke was listed at wing-back for DCU and scored 4 points from play (perha...

And yet Westmeath beat Wexford in a game of consequence last year.

We certainly aren't on those teams level at the moment but we will be with time.

Banagher College into the Senior B schools semi finals after a 20-point win over Ardscoil Rís of Clontarf. They have now set up a semi final with Birr. Birr must be fancied to win this out, having earlier beat Banagher by 12 points. Unlucky draw with the 2 Offaly schools facing off and Heywood and N...

Promoted: Down & Offaly

Relegated: WIcklow and Sligo

Limerick and Clare are both down a good few lads but I can't see them being as bad as many are predicting.

Is Keith O’Neill involved with the seniors this year?
Really fast and exciting player.

Scored 1-1 for Maynooth last night.
Aaron Brazil and one of the Plunkett brothers also playing in a win over MTU Cork.

Kilkenny whacked Carlow tonight, Offaly would probably have gone toe to toe with Carlow and maybe sneak a win..the gulf is massive and i fear its too big to close now..just my obs.. Offaly have been well ahead of the likes of Carlow, Westmeath, Antrim etc since 2018-2019 at u20 and minor. We have a...

Was going to ask the same.
I’d imagine they were always going to struggle with Screeney, Mahon, the 3 Kavanaghs and a few more doing the Leaving Cert last year.

Galway’s superior short stick work between the half back and half forward line was evident to see today, coupled with physicality and pace. Offaly’s best passages of play came when releasing the ball into the 3 red helmets (almost impossible to tell apart today) of Kelly, Mitchell and Cahill. Donal ...

Photo on the fundraising Twitter page for little Joey Conway shows Kiely togged out with the team before today’s game.

I’d expect he is undergoing some form or rehab or conditioning
