A shocking reappointment

A lot of recent experience, coached some of the best players of the past few seasons. Knows Leinster thru his time east of the Boyne Bridge.

He is going in with the cork hurlers

All seems a bit harsh on him?
He has been involved with multiple clubs outside of Offaly (with some success)


Not really. His successes external with clubs were in part time roles as he was still playing. Anyone in lorrha would tell you as much.
His two years at minor have been a disaster along ...

Very disappointing reappointment.

Brian Carroll unfortunately is egotistical to the extreme and when dealing with young lads thats not a good mix. As previous posters have said players have little good to say about him. It's a pity we don't encourage a coach pathway from Development squad level ...

Any update since on the minor snd u20 roles

If that happens the county board should face the sack

Whats the latest on these roles. I see Leo is gone. Surely a change is needed at Minor level. I assume Kelly stays on?

Who will step in to this role now?

A huge thanks to Leo and his team for all their work. Some great memories of his tenure

Johnny Kelly desrevs a new term . No questions

I would have thought this team would have been capable of more. There are a lot of decent hurlers there, probably not capable of replicating previous teams’ successes, but they were capable of at least getting into tier 1.

I’m blue in the face saying that the most important thing for our underage ...

Whilst the talent might not be immense I still felt this group had more in them. By all accounts our Manager is more focused on his own ego at times than his players and a change would be a good move I think

What other county would reappoint a manager who oversaw a 31 point underage championship defeat to Laois?


Exactly :oops:



He is an ego maniac. The school he is in pushed him aside from doing the harty senior hurling by all accounts. Great player in his day but unfortunately that doesn't ...
