Re: U20 hurlers 23

I feel the same people who are giving out about the games being separated would be the first to moan if they were on together with Mitchell and the 2 managements facing a dilemma. If the fixture had been left where it was, we could have looked rightly stupid with Mitchell not playing in one of the g...

Re: U20 hurlers 23

Rule is for a rolling 7 day period - Day 1 morning until Day 7 night. So in this case, Sunday morning until the next Saturday night. So we should hope the game is Saturday 3rd? Makes most sense with Leaving Cert the following Wednesday Cork would be too cute to allow that happen. Anyway seems like ...

Re: U20 hurlers 23

Looks like the U20 final is being moved back a week. Pity, as it plays into Cork's hands. They get Eoin Downey back and it probably gets played in a more preferable venue for them. Everyone is saying Downey will be back but will he actually? Cork are playing the Sunday beforehand, with the 7 day ru...

Re: U20 hurlers 23

Huge respect for and pride in our U20 hurlers last night. A game that alot of things were going against them in but they really stuck to the task. The work rate in the last 10 minutes or so when Wexford were really pushing to finish us off was incredible. Ref watch - I found him frustrating. Maybe ...

Re: U20 hurlers 23

I really don't think the double header is an issue. Let him hurl the 20 final he's not a nailed on starter for the senior team and they should have enough to beat Carlow if they go about there job correctly double header in croker makes more sense. Not a nailed starter for the seniors? He is absolu...

Re: Offaly Senior Football Team - Championship 2023

That performance today wouldn’t inspire much confidence for our tailteann cup campaign. 16 scores to 11 against a team who didn’t win a game in division 4, 0-1 between three starting forwards Anton ruairi and maher. No urgency at all too many slow attacks London we’re there to be hammered any team ...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2023

Agree with a lot of what’s posted above, Offaly very impressive despite playing into Kerry’s hand for a lot of the early stages. Kerry had no game plan to actually try and win the game, their only plan was to move Mackessy out to half back from his sweeper role. He is a great hurler and very athleti...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2023

No talk about this game at all here, surprising as it's "semi final" for Offaly as a win will take them to the final. Best of luck lads and do us proud. Unbeaten all year so far in league and championship is fair going. Kerry will be no pushovers and recent games suggest a very tight game...

Re: U20 hurlers 23

Big ask but as you said we have the talent and with players to come back such as Dan Ravenhill, Cillian Martin, Ruairi Kelly and Donal Shirley to name a few only strenghtens our hand. I would fancy an Offaly win as I think home advantage and a big Offaly crowd will get behind this team. Are they al...

Looks like Damien coleman is moving on also less than 6 months in the role. Gpo in edenderry also moving on. Have the gpos been replaced yet that moved...

Leinster fixture plan states county from lower group (which Offaly are) would have home advantage unless a home-away agreement is in place.. as POTH as pointed out, the home-away is on our turn, so under either scenario it should be a home game

Re: Offaly Senior Football Team - Championship 2023

€25 for Offaly and Meath is certainly excessive, in particular given both are well out of competitive side of things for a good few years now..outside my and many peoples budget anyway..I always maintained no point paying that entrance fee and not being able to buy abit of grub etc. either at groun...
