Very sad news. Sincere condolences to the Horan family. For my generation, Padraig was a real hero for us growing up. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

Break the bank. Get Andy Moran in

Shefflin won two all Irelands with Ballyhale 2019 and 2020.

Henry in as new Kilkenny manager, David Herity as coach. You’d imagine Kilkenny will improve a lot

One thing Johnny Kelly has assembled is a very good coaching team, Seamie Callinan in particular seems to be very good with the group and it looks from the sideline he is Johnny Kelly’s right hand man (I’m too long exiled to know any more).
Leaving aside the management debate for one second, two ...

Just home. A very hard watch today. Apart from the obvious difference in physicality between the two sides, the most disappointing thing was how poor our first touch was … you just don’t get away with that against the top teams, and today we were punished severely. To be fair to our lads, we ...

I can’t say the same, unfortunately. We had a particularly annoying band of Rebels behind us in 2000 who spent most of the match asking us “Where is Offaly?” and Who the f*** is Johnny Dooley?” (Johnny was a front runner for hurler of the year going into the semi final that year).
Imagine how happy ...

What are people’s thoughts/expectations for the game on Sunday? Based on past experience with Ben O’Connor on the sideline, we can expect a bit of early “softening up” of some of our players, with Adam Screeney and Eoghan Cahill surely among the high-profile targets.
I’m sure they will also go for ...

A emotional day … Credit to players and management for the huge improvement this year. Definitely Johnny Kelly and his team deserve another year. So many players hurling as well as they ever have, I’m thinking of Ben (has to be in the running for an All Star now), Ross Ravenhill, Eoghan Cahill. And ...

Strongest possible team named. So many of the u20s of a couple of years ago making the step up to senior in their stride, it’s another good opportunity for Colin Spain to be the next one to make a breakthrough alongside his u20 midfield partner. His touch was a bit off in the Kilkenny game (eg ...

Eoghan was probably our man of the match yesterday, Ben and Killian were immense as well. We didn’t start well, but benefited from some poor shooting by Wexford, and I thought we started to get to grips with the game in the last 10-15m of the first half.
To win the second half by 11 points shows ...

Agree, there is no place for any sort of hype here. I wouldn’t even mention a Leinster final or an All-Ireland quarter final yet. The important thing about a win on Saturday is that it means we are safe from a last day relegation fight against Kildare. Win and we can play with freedom on the last ...

Wishing Charlie Mitchell a speedy recovery.

Midfield was poor alright, and you could also argue a lot of our forwards were held from play for long periods (eg Charlie, Eoghan, Conor Doyle), but everyone kept working like demons. Great to have the Offaly roar back at a big senior match, we even got a few seconds of Ua Fhaile at the end! The ...
