Offaly Club Hurling 2026

What exactly is happening in Coolderry?!

[Anon444]

From what I heard, their management team were removed/left on their own accord after training on Friday night. It’s baffling as I thought they were going well, but they’ve lost the head to head to Birr now and could find themselves in a relegation fight if they aren’t careful.

Hardly going well losing to Birr by 10 points?!

Seems drastic with one game to go though I suppose.

[Anon444]

Absolutely, a terrible result vs Birr. But before that, they had beaten KK and lost to Rynaghs by 2 points, having contested the Div 1 league final. I would say that was going well. Then the Birr result happened and it seems to have gone downhill from there fast.

If Coolderry think that not getting out of the group is reason enough to sack a manager, then they're going to go through a lot of managers over the next few years.

Birr had a terrible result against Rynaghs. K-K had a terrible result against Coolderry. Shinrone had a terrible result against Tullamore.

There must be more to it than one bad game if one bad result was enough for the lads to pull the trigger in Coolderry.

What do you think of the local journalist printing a text message that was sent to players LS?
Seems to be a bit overstepping the mark?
Especially when a club officer is named in the article as being the most likely problem.

Thought it was awful and needless shows the calibre of journalism we have in our local paper some the person up really.

Can’t see Cooldery winning a county final in the next 20 years. The current crop probably aren’t county final winning calibre and their underage is now amalgamated and consistently hurling at B level in most grades.

Actually makes me think about this article a lot..
