Delighted with that result. While promotion was the objective adding silverware is class.
Kildare had big men who won some high ball over our much smaller lads but by God when it came down to earth Offaly lads showed bravery, speed and brilliant football skills..
I had Cormac down for MOTM but have ...

A picture’s worth a thousand words. A video - more.

Agree … Penalty.

Yes obvious peno but what was a mystery to many was the free we got after Masterson caught kick out on his chest and ref gave us a free ....... Some players, on both sides seemed surprised and a few stood up with us ...

Delighted with the win and the big attendance . Tto see the pitch swarmed at HT was great,,,,,,

Thought all the defenders were good and most took turns to race forward, putting on the pressure. Midfield were up against bigger men but fought it out and Paddy picked ont the wings a few times while ...

So the ref got it very wrong and it was the difference in the end====== Then Ulster refs doing Ulster teams has a long history===========

There was a mention of a free when an Offaly player strayed into (?) his own half to interept/collect possession.
Was the free given from that spot or brought to the 20 line---- In the programme from Croke Park on Sunday it is clear any such free is "on the point where the player crossed the halfway ...

a development squad :::::: Living in Kildare I know their Dev Squad did some training and have played quite a few games, challenges v Waterford, Tipp and one or two more (Cavan ?) as well as participating in a "Leinster Dev League* v Dublin, Louth & Meath.

Offaly could do similar which could add to ...

What a win. That winning point is for the ages !!!

Happy to have witnessed it ===========

Legalise the throw or insist on refs enforcing the existing rule....

IMO 90% OF SO-CALLED HANDPASSES ARE FOULS AND IRRITATE ME !!!!

Who kicked the late 2 pointer=was it the keeper ???

what do you mean the like's of offaly yes offaly have been down over the last few year's but we are moving in the right way i watch Dublin in last year's leinster final and offaly who won the mcdonagh cup before would have beaten them. Dublin have won leinster title's underage down the year's but ...

Was not there but delighted with the result------
Great that the young lads enjoyed a good win and for you who asked about John Furlong, it was mentioned in the interview on Facebook with John Hackett that John F is injured and will be a few weeks before he and a few others mentioned will be back,

I would like to see the panel and maybe even comment but is it posted or published anywhere ?

Brendan was training Offaly Ladies in Dublin in 1973/4 and was one of those who arranged and attended the inaugural LGFA in Hayes's Hotel. He was manager of the Offaly team which reached the first All-Ireland Final.
When that game was about to be played he realised there was no trophy so he just ...

I find the attempts to define NORTH & SOUTH amusing but the terms not originate in GAA when for many years, up to the Mid-Sixties there were subsidiary Boards called The North Offaly Board and The South Offaly Board and they were not totally based on a north/south divide. For example Doon in the ...
