Offaly Hurling 2026

[Doon Exile]

Great to see Shirley and Killian Sampson back.

Our strongest side we’ve had out this year. Still Galway will be a huge test.

[Géill Slí]

Great to see Killian Sampson back and Donal Shirley too. Interesting to see how Ter Guinan does at midfield … that position should suit his speed and skillset.

[Faithful Future]

Really feel we can get something out of this game with a strong lineup out.

Would like to see a consistent performance across the 70 minutes for starters. Need to see a couple of goals too.

Excited to see the stability Sampson brings to centre back and brilliant to see Shirley in his best position.

[private joker]

Great to see the big names back in but if we hold galway to 15 we be doing great, they destroyed us last year and are much better this year and loughrea lads integrating back in. We are moving forward but anythin beyond survival in leinster is unrealistic. Maybe nick a win v wexford, i had thought kildare would be poor but im thinking now they will be a lot harder to beat . Fingers crossed we get a 70 minute performamce

Game stays in Birr. Passed pitch inspection.

Kildare are proving thst they are up for it. Very commendable performance vs clare. A 4 point defeat is not bad at all. They will be a hard nut to crack.

[classof81]

Great to hear game is staying in Birr today

[greenairfield]

Great crowd in Birr pity about our performance we are set up quiet negative and struggle with runners around the middle.

[private joker]

2-23 to 18. Battled well to a degree. The way its looking, I think Offlay/wexford/ kildare are all going to target each other come championship.

[Anon444]

Generally an okay performance. Could have been beat by 15-20 points in the end, the 1-2 or 1-3 in the last 2-3 mins made the scoreline look worse.

Is there an option to play all of our home games in Birr? I think it would be great for the team but not sure what the agreement is with O’Connor Park.

Come championship time, the matches are gonna be in OCP and should be there. So probably beneficial to keep a balance in the league.

[Anon444]

I know they will be in OCP, but is there actually anything stopping us from playing our home games in Birr? I think it would suit our lads better, O’Connor Park can be lifeless enough at times. Maybe there’a an agreement or due to the lease on OCP, I’m not sure.
