It seems we are at the behest of our journalists as to what senior B games are covered.
Clara v Clodiagh Gaels has been the only one so far with a match report online.
Fairly sure all of the senior b football games have been covered.

I heard young Sean Carey was outstanding for Seir Kieran.

Carrig 1 point from 2 games and may be getting a bit panicked, although they perhaps have the 2 hardest games behind them now.
Anyone know who they have next?

The hill that I’ll die on is that only 3 teams should qualify for the knockouts in this competition.

15 games to eliminate 2 teams. Not really “championship” is it?

10 games to eliminate 2 in the Munster championship and we are told that is the greatest sporting competition in the world

You do know that’s 5 games less than the Offaly Senior B championship right?

I totally agree. In a 6 team championship, 3 teams making the knockout stages is enough. I would just have 2.

Big win for Clara yesterday over Drumcullen, 3-25 to 4-12.
Clara will need at least another win over Seir Kieran, Carrig & KK to avoid another meeting with Drumcullen in a relegation final.

Was anyone at the game?
Again, no match report or news available from Offaly GAA or any journalists.

Clareen bet clara.
Clareen with two sent off. One 2nd yellow.
Clara hit a lot of wides.
Mucklagh is not a good pitch for senior hurling.
The hill and the lack of decent ball catchers at the bottom end. Nearly every ball was lost into that end.

Senior b is a very competitive, low quality grade.

Clareen straight red anything serious that could mean 2 games?

7 minutes to go in the Birr vs K/K game yesterday. K/K in total control and they bring on Brian Guinan.

Crazy call. He is unavailable now for the Senior B semi final in 2 weeks when K/K have no Senior A game.

That’s most unlike KK.
They look to have given up on the Senior B as a prospect this year.
