Re: Offaly Hurling 2026
In fairness, most teams do match ups ahead of positions. Way game as gone. The big test is vs wexford and then kildare. As it always was going to be. Dublin bet kildare handy enough. Kilkenny will best offaly by a similar scoreline as Galway. They fairly whipped wexford. Beat wexford and the last ...

What is so special that Munster charge twice the price than Leinster for the terrace, hype?frankthetank wrote: ↑Sat Apr 18, 2026 7:16 am Kudos to the Leinster Council on their ticket pricing strategy.
€15 for a terrace ticket is fantastic value.
As a point of reference a Munster championship terrace tickets is €30.

Re: Offaly Hurling 2026
Playing and winning games in 1B will stand to Dublin more than Offaly's 1A adventures this year.
It's 47 weeks since the Offaly senior hurlers won a game.
1 goal in 6 league matches is a massive concern.
There is going to be a huge gap in physicality tomorrow evening which will be a huge factor ...

Re: Offaly Senior Football 2026
There will be a review of the past year for team management in both codes.
I wonder if there will be a change then. The footballers look like returning to Div 3, even with two home games to play.
An interesting point in last weekend’s paper, Carlow manager Sean Murphy ? has Carlow footballers in ...

Re: Offaly Senior Football 2026
There were heavy conversations last year with the players and with the special committee that was set up, yet neither the players’ views nor the committee’s recommendations appear to have been taken on board. The manager seems to have been given a free pass, and from the outside, it looks like ...

Re: Club Managers 2024
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 ...

Re: On refection which game/defeat) was the real beginning of the end of the golden era of Offaly hurling from 1980s to
I don't see a particular defeat that started any decline.
People will remember matches that were lagging indicators - the decline was already in the pipeline, the match confirmed it.
There were some leading indicators too - the canary in the coalmine moments. For me it was the 1995 Leinster ...

Re: On refection which game/defeat) was the real beginning of the end of the golden era of Offaly hurling from 1980s to
The 1996 Leinster Final loss to Wexford was my choice. Offaly lost to Clare the previous year. There was an All Ireland final win in 1998, followed by the defeat by Kilkenny in the 2000 Final. Offaly never reached the same levels again.

Re: Club Managers 2024
Seems to be a bit of plucking at straws writing Tullamore off.
Bourke will be available for the knockout stages of the championship by what I have heard. Tullamore will have Luke Egan Aaron Hensey and Nigel bracken fit and back this year giving them more options I’d imagine a few of their senior ...

Re: Offaly Senior Football 2026
No outside manager has ever won Sam Maguire and only one has won the Liam McCarthy (Eamon Cregan) to best of my knowledge.
You could really do with expanding your knowledge there.
Offaly’s hurling all Ireland wins have been presided over by Dermot Healy (Kilkenny), Eamonn Cregan (Limerick ...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2025
Time to move on I think from pointing the finger.
The league is going to be tough, but look at Westmeath last year, they battled well in all the games and were unlucky to be relegated. Yes there are injuries, but we need to build a panel and start emptying the bench from 50 mins this year to ...
