Entertaining yes
Quality is questionable probably
Belmont wanted it more
Not to sure what to make of the shinrone team set up
They can look good then poor.
Nice to see tulllamore shooting for the stars again..
Offaly hurling needs competitive teams
The problem is to do that every year .
Mind you no hurling should start late than 6 pm without lights this time of year
I feel sorry for the keepers

K/K will put up a cricket score vs Kinnitty and beat Shinrone to win group on score difference.

K/K and Birr through to semi finals.

Quarter Finals:

Coolderry vs Shinrone
Belmont vs Ballinamere

Well, they played three more times before Tullamore's relegation after 1977, three times in the 1990s, four times in the 00s, four times in the 10s, and most recently last year. So 12 times since Tullamore were promoted in 1990.

Tullamore's previous wins over Coolderry were: 1932 Final, 1935, 1937 Final, 1959 final replay and 1964 semi-final.

I remember a drawn game in the early 2010s in Lusmagh I believe, and another draw maybe 4-5 years ago in the senior B championship but it must be a similar timeline to Coolderry since Tullamore's last victory. Point is, history and heritage has very little meaning, as shown by Ballinamere in previous years and by Tullamore themselves in 09/10.

And given that Tullamore have roughly 40 times Clareen's population, a run rate of a win roughly every 25 years isn't hectic.

And hey - never, ever write off Coolderry!

Tullamore are at home to Coolderry in their next match, I am told, but the Ballinamere game was in O’Brien Park. Where will the match be played?

The overall consistency and competitiveness of their underage results would certainly suggest this.
However this big unknown with Tullamore hurling will always be how many of their best underage hurlers will ultimately concentrate on senior football. However, the club has a big enough population that they should be comfortably good senior a teams in both codes.

Although other clubs might chafe at the suggestion, the crucial importance of a strong Tullamore in both codes to Offaly GAA and our inter county teams can not be overstated. The Offaly hurling team in particular could really do with getting to a point where 1-3 players of the starting 15 are from by far its largest urban area/Tullamore.
