Anyone with a true interest in our native games wanted to attend Gaelic Sunday in O’Connor Park last week. The crowd was a far cry from the original in 1918, the zeitgeist totally incomparable but I’m fairly sure some of the resplendent football was easier on the eye.

It’s the second year with ...

Passage from Offaly Express article with Tullamore Senior B player Kevin O'Brien, who also does S&C with the Senior As:

He pointed out that Tullamore isn't as big a club as some outsiders think and have a “quite small playing community”.

Their junior A and B teams train together as separate ...

Maybe Coolderry would be open to a merger with Crinkill? They play together underage as part of the CRCC amalgamtion.

Crinkill conceded the Junior A relegation final last night. That’s the 2nd walkover they gave this year. They look to be in real trouble looking at results the last couple of years. Word on the street is they will really struggle to put out a team at all next year. If that happens, what would ...

Questions
Is Offaly better of getting rid of Senior B with only 6 teams in it and going with two groups in intermediate same as the senior A system.


Best format would be Senior/Intermediate/Junior. No more of this nonsense nomenclature 'senior b'.

8 teams in each grade. Should make all ...

There are a number of points in this article that are very concerning and that require much closer critical analysis beyond the praise worthy headline.

The most ...

Birr are as far away as they have ever have been from winning a championship.

They seem to have rectified their underage structure but that will take time.

That performance vs K/K last year seems to have been the exception rather than the norm. A lot of people hung their hat on it.

I’d ...

Also: What an incredible achievement for Ballyskenagh, on their own pre-amalgamation, to get to an Offaly Senior Hurling final in 2003. Like Leitrim getting to an All-Ireland football final.

Pity they didn't win.

Now this is very interesting. Thanks for working on it and agree, badly needed.

A few initial points of I'm sure many that will follow.

1: Does St Rynaghs really come all the way into Ferbane up to and including the secondary school?! According to the map, the Ferbane GAA pitch itself is just ...

You'd have to favour Ferbane and I think many would be happy to see them get them over the line.

Tullamore just look off it. Which I suppose is not unexpected after winning four of the last five championships.

If Coolderry think that not getting out of the group is reason enough to sack a manager, then they're going to go through a lot of managers over the next few years.

To be fair to Durrow they were probably promoted to a level that was never really sustainable long term.
What has happened since then is that hurling is now the priority for a lot of the players which is fair enough.

They'll be relegated this year and honestly, I'd have them as favourites to be ...

This is very sad news.
Although he has passed, his name, through his countless achievements, is immortal. 1981 will never ever be forgotten.
