If you want a good offaly crowd to be able to attend best not have it before senior game. Minor all ireland gets about 3k tickets between both counties.

Great win. Well deserving. And no, minor will not be on before senior final. I think it is right that it isn't to be fair. We would like that now with Offaly involved but over the years, having it there has caused a lot of stress to young lads. With minor now u17, the gaa games model moved away from performance related motives to one of development. No matter where it is played, maybe Thurles or Limerick depending on opposition, there will be a great Offaly crowd in attendance. Well done to all involved. This is a really good team. We have every chance in final.

That was a tough one!
Klare gave Offaly plenty of it. A bit like their seniors in the 90s, what they lacked in skill they made up for in sheer doggedness and determination.
Offaly were tested and this is exactly what is needed for the All Ireland final.
When Offaly went 4 points down, I fear what a Klare goal would have done at that stage.
We had some good fortune at that stage when the ref gave a couple of charity frees. This is where the crowd were a big help. It's usually the other way around. Offaly outnumbered and refs shafting us.
Offaly should have pulled away in the end but a slew of wides and maybe just lacked the bit of level-headedness and coherence.
Crucially the defence worked extremely hard and never coughed up any clear goal chances. So long as the goal stayed intact, the lead wasn't going to be overhauled.
Offaly were given a big test, they passed it, and will improve.
Delighted to be in the final.

Just home and buzzing after that. Superb team performance. Dan got some outrageous scores. We always seemed to be able to get the scores at the vital stages.
I was questioning beforehand how could a Tipp ref be appointed given the obvious connection with the other semi but he did us no harm.
Just realized on way home I’ve a wedding on the 2 July

Listen, if she's truly your forever soulmate she won't mind you postponing the big day.
Or failing that, you disappearing between the church part and the reception.

I agree about the poor start, but we recovered, and were the better side. The goals were vital in their timing, and our defence was sound. Offaly will improve their shooting for the final, a few chances not taken in either half, would have increased the victory margin.Bord na Mona man wrote: ↑Fri Jun 17, 2022 10:26 pm That was a tough one!

Ah shur, we’ll try to keep it pucked out to them. We’re just delighted to be able to play an aul match against Tipperary and with the help of god we won’t embarrass ourselves too much.
