Re: 2026 Leinster hurling championship

Will Killian Sampson continue to play in the forwards with Shirley centre back or might they look at Sampson centre back?

Re: Offaly Club Hurling Championship 2025

Hindsight is a wonderful thing but Shinrone must be asking themselves this morning what might have been it ciaran cleary was full forward in the first half. The kk full back line dominated the first half but they were all over the place when cleary was introduced and Shinrone switched to aerial ...

Re: Offaly Club Hurling Championship 2025

Heard this morning that SBP unlikely to be able host the 2 games on Sunday due to the rain that has fell and continues to fall. Hopefully the wind forecast will dry up some of the water and both games can go ahead as planned.

Re: Offaly Club Hurling Championship 2025



Great to have a semi final in birr all the same.


But why can't it be be a double header in Birr?

If the final is going to be fixed for Tullamore then I feel a semi final double header in Birr should be fixed. Now of course some may argue that gives an advantage to Birr should they reach that ...

Re: Offaly Club Hurling Championship 2025





KK are their main competitors?? What about birr and Coolderry who beat them? Or Belmont and shinrone who are in semi finals? Are these not seen as competitors?

They are competitors but KK are at a diff level to every other hurling team. They’re the benchmark. I can understand why the ...

Kilcormac played in a Senior football final in 1988. They won intermediate titals in 1998 and 2013 when intermediate was the true second tier of Offaly football.

They’re basically a junior B football team ...

Ballinamere would be favourites for relegation from senior.
And Durrow would be favourites for junior B.

Re: Offaly Club Hurling Championship 2025


A strange one yesterday in Birr. I am astonished that Killoughey didn’t have it in them to pull away after they weathered the early storm and again after the goal. Now, perhaps they are in heavy training with October and November in mind. Or perhaps, as Buttons noted yesterday in relation to ...

Re: Offaly Club Hurling Championship 2025


Ballinamere look like a team that are devoid of confidence and that are afraid to express themselves.

A team with seven Offaly starters should not be losing a must win championship game to a team that has none, as happened today.

Different teams need different styles of management at ...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2025

Wouldn't be surprised if connelly, kiely, j.sampson and d.king didn't commit for next year. A lot of milage in their legs and they struggled at times this year with the pace of the game.

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2025


A very bad day evening on Saturday.

Having left Parnell Park feeling disappointed but optimistic, Sat was a reality check.
First of all, as was outlined in an earlier post, there is context for the Dublin game, we got goals at critical times and Dublin were rattled a bit. I never felt that Offaly ...
