And don’t mind the “Joint Managers” nonsense. We all know who will have the Casting Vote if required.

My first reaction is that I don’t like it. I don’t expect him to stick around Offaly for too long. He was going really well in Louth, but dumped them when a better offer came in. His “bounce” in Derry fizzled out so badly that a good team disappeared.

We will have to see the players’ commitment ...

A superb display. Well done to all connected with this great team. That was a great game to watch, and I’m so jealous of that great crowd who had the privilege to be there.

I brought my Offaly jersey out with me to Chicago. I think I’ll wear it to work on Monday, especially for that Tipp colleague ...

I’ve always recognised the difference between “Green, White and Gold” and the national flag colours of “Green, White and Orange”. The Gold looks so much brighter and better on jerseys.

I will watching on TG4 on my phone as a work project has me out in Chicago just now. But memories of Thurles last year will give me a small sense of what the craic is like in Kilkenny.

Have ye seen this on the former Twitter?

Ours is a very distinctive jersey and I’ve always been proud that it’s not shared with any other county.

But there are some clubs that use it in other counties. Glenswilly in Donegal - as sported by Micheal Murphy in his day, Carrickmore in Tyrone.
Any other notable ones?

Thanks to substandard for the best reply posted here. I am also distanced from the Offaly environment now for many years, and I know I’m so lucky to be able to remember the Glory Days. I’m happy to accept lower levels these days.

Was yesterday’s result just an aberration? A freak? We’ve been ...

Double Header not happening.

U20 Final fixed for Thurles on Sunday 4th June at 3 pm, following a Minor game that might also include Cork.
JMD Final v Carlow is on Saturday 27th May at 4:45 pm in Croke Park.

Terrible news to hear this last night. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Also to the Offaly team and staff who have been working with him most recently.

Terribly disappointing day yesterday. There was a sizable Offaly support that travelled down; Wexford would probably be disappointed with their own following so just goes to prove that Hurling is their big focus.

Offaly looked like a small team against some big men. Despite that, we must have broke ...

First - its good to see that most/all of the posts above are positive and supporting of the U20 team's performance last night. That is what is needed more than ever in Offaly, that we encourage the good green shoots when we have them.

Second - it was a good performance overall, still playing nice ...

We have drawn to play Wexford first (at home). If we can negotiate that hurdle, then it will be the Dubs.

I think the Qualifiers are back to the "old" format for next year, which generally favours the ...

I recall that McHale Park in Castlebar is also owned by the local club. According to the "irrefutable" authority of Wikipedia (in fairness, it references the Western People newspaper), in 2005, the County Board agreed a 50 Year Lease on the stadium before embarking on their Upgrade work. Not that ...

We made harder work of that than I was hoping or expecting. However, we learned how to take our goal chances and got our just desserts in the end.
Big well done to the Offaly team. Lots of players got a run (or a couple of sessions) today and did quite well. I did not think that starting Niall would ...
