And whats going on in Durrow and what happened last year is a disgrace.. county board need to step in and stop situations like that happening.. sanctions against ballinamere/Durrow would be a good start. A points deduction for ballinamere would put a stop to it.


Tullamore: McConway/ Rochford ...

Durrow have moved on from Cake.

I believe an ex-Westmeath player is in for the running of it now


Thanks Durrow boy for your response. Hope all works out for yous good potential their. Any truth in the above statement in the method of which way the management selection is going?

IE Chairman ...

Bracknah look set to stay with the same management team, and that’s no bad thing. They’re a seasoned, mature group at this stage and very settled. With very few county players, they play a huge amount of football together, which really shows during the league campaign. The chemistry they build ...

Dalton played at 6 for Clara for a year and was very good there - senior B player of year in fact. SOTG played there with Shamrocks previously. Pearson did it with Edenderry. Jordan Hayes has NEVER played there.

Cormac Egan has mostly been a forward. I never mentioned him to be put to inside ...

Anyone know what's what on the manager front. I'd assume all clubs have a managers in place at this stage? There has been a few confirmations in the papers ect...

Tullamore: McConway/ Rochford
Edenderry: Adrian Farrell
Ferbane: Georgie Digan? Is he confirmed??
Shamrocks: Nigel Dunne
Ballycommon ...

Whats Tullamore's ceiling? They felt leinster and got trimmed. That can happen...they will probably win 4 in a row with or without Rochford ...others will learn off him yes but thst feels like a very loose positive spin on the situation.

Ferbane, not good enough to beat Tullamore unfortunately ...

Rochford has officially committed to Tullamore for 2026. Can only imagine it is a good move to have him in the mix for another year. Wealth of experience and knowledge from his side passed on is benefiting Tullamore you'd have to imagine.

Think all the club managers have been sewn up now ? Cake is supposed to be taking over us last I heard.

Any additional members to background of Keelaghans set up in Rhode or any of big clubs Tullamore, Ferbane, Shamrocks, Edenderry. I heard Owen Carroll for example doing some S&C with Ferbane ...

Adrian Farrell is the Edenderry Manager. Good appointment
Edenderry mite not be as strong next year and will probably be very young with a raft of retirements and lads travelling but Adrian Farrell will get the best out of what he will have.
Georgie Digan was always gonna take the Ferbane job at ...

Have heard no more than what is here. Good that Georgie is taking on Ferbane. He has done a good bit of ground work on underage and also developed himself at adult level and deserves a fair shot. I'd sense though he will need a real tight group with him in management group with such competition ...

Shane Curran has got a tune out of a lot of sides and there's no doubt that he is very positive and quite astute, but I don't think I'm speaking out of turn when I say that there are a lot of club and county teams where they've found him to be hard work too, and it hasn't worked out.

Given that ...

White Smoke from a few clubs on the football side, GD taking the Ferbane job seems a nice fit, I know he's thought highly of within the club by young and old. Personally think its a step forward for them. Raff was great and got as best he could, Maybe GD will go one step further time will tell.

On ...

That was my opinion hence the non reply.

Is the word on the street true??
Did anyone hear if Ciaran Burke is captain of the Offaly senior hurling team this year the kilcormac boys are opting out to playing for Offaly??

Seems some lads are not happy with his ongoing antics in the club championship…..


very childish if true


Yes ...
