Offaly Hurling 2026

[Faithfully]

Team named. Sam Bourke, Ciarán Burke and Jack Clancy in for Brecon Kavanagh, Cathal King and Dan Ravenhill.

Sensible team selection by management. Hoping for a competitive game from our lads. Let’s bring the attitude and workrate from the last day for a start and see where that takes us. Galway looking formidable, in the top 3 I’d say with Limerick and Cork.

Big win incoming from Kilkenny here, 13 points up on 69 mins. Wexford look very beatable. Stop Lee Chin and you’re half way there.

the first 20 minutes will be vital on sunday stay will galway and we could give them a good game.

Bookies say Galway by 12.

I tend to agree unfortunately.

If we keep it to single digits it’s been a reasonable day at the office.

Anyone got an official attendance figure for yesterday?

Apparently just shy of 6,000.
For context the same fixture in Parnell Park in 2025 attracted 5,300.

That is a woeful effort to be fair.

I wouldn’t expect a large Offaly crowd to make the trek to Salthill either considering it’s such of a nightmare of a venue to get to and the fact that we will be really up against it.

HOWEVER, if we remain competitive vs Galway and Wexford turn Kilkenny over I would expect a large Offaly crowd in OCP for Offaly v Kilkenny. The smell of blood in the water would entice us all in!!

The smell of blood in the water is not quite as pronounced after Kilkenny’s win over Wexford.

No harm that it will temper expectations.
