Re: Offaly Senior Football 2026


A big question has a team not got a point in division 2 before.?
I know London and Kilkenny have drawn blanks in division 4 .
We were talking about this in the pub on Monday night.
Obviously some of old league setup when you played before and after the new year teams didn't win in a calendar year ...

Re: Offaly Hurling 2026

Same story as other games, kept within 3-4 points and when game is in melting pot after half time we don’t take our chances and too slow to move on the line.
In every game we have waited until our opponents get goals to move 7-8 ahead before we make any changes on the line.

Re: Offaly Hurling 2026


Sorry, this ould lark of giving lads time, Adam Hogan, Adam English, Ruben Halloran - just picking them three off the top of my head, the first two played Munster Championship games in the weeks leading UPTO their leaving certs...Ruben Halloran a recent U20 with Waterford, looks more than at home ...

That’s exactly what I said, if you read my post.

Re: Offaly Hurling 2026

We are creating the chances, lads simply aren’t executing, that has to be on the players.

Re: Offaly Hurling 2026


Any truth in Charlie Mitchell having some form of Heart Trouble and may not be available this year or potentially ever?
Hopefully not true, but have heard murmers a few times now in passing conversations.


As far as I know, he is under surveillance for now, don’t think it would be appropriate to ...

Re: Offaly Senior Football 2026


That’s a great point. I actually remember that now. Players were over in the faithful fields while the club championship was still on. How clubs allowed that to happen is beyond me. There’s your starting point. They think they are getting a head start but it’s the complete opposite. IC players are ...

Re: Offaly Senior Football 2026

Duignan was out a month ago blaming all the injuries on split season/clubs.

That ignores the workload placed on lads from
I/c setups nowadays and the fact that the Offaly footballers were back on training regimes on top of their club schedules before the club championship even started last year!

Re: Offaly Hurling 2026

Ye do realise Liam Cahill didn’t mind starting Oisin O’Donoghue last night, who is also playing on Friday?

We were too slow to make the changes after half time when Waterford had a run on us - game was over by the time we moved

Re: Offaly Hurling 2026

Scoreline was bad but we can get over that, it’s not our first. It was the way we went about it.
We set up to get play a system of high balls in on top of Ciaran Cleary, (who was called into the squad in the last few weeks to make up numbers for training) and try play off the breaks.
We won one ...
