Conor was brought into the panel but unsure if he’s still part of it.
Surely Daniel Hand should be part of the list ready to step in for Ravenhill?
Also does anybody know when or if Cillian Martin will be back?

Good professional first half, time to call some lads ashore and let lads come in and get game time and see out the job

Job done. Lots of positives, a couple of negatives. Apart from the first ten minutes of second half, Offaly on cruise control throughout.
Good crowd there.
Does anyone know who and where we are playing next Wednesday? If Dublin beat Wexford, would it be Offaly and Dublin in a draw to see who plays KK or Galway. Any chance of it in Tullamore?

Galway would be neutral venue as I don't believe they are granted any home games at underage level.
Re Kilkenny, I'm not sure if we have a home/away agreement at the grade. If not, then I'd imagine they as #1 seeds will have home advantage.

After the first 2-3 minutes there was only going to be one winner. Next week is going to be massive and another step up.
I think we missed Dan and will even more depending on how far they go, this is from when a team gets a run on us who do you puck it out to and also a couple of frees slightly out.
Lastly it’s hard to say there were negatives after winning by 16 points but then this is a special team. Once again well done and this match will stand to them next week

Following tonight's results we can be fairly sure we will be hurling in Portlaoise next Wednesday evening one way or the other.
Yes the #1 seeds have home advantage but as you quite rightly stated Galway aren't entitled to any home games so if we draw them that will be brought to a neutral venue.
And if we draw Kilkenny I'd be pretty confident TG4 will want to show it live (provision is in the U20 fixtures for one Leinster semi final to be at a floodlit venue for broadcasting purposes) and as Nowlan Park has no floodlights that will be moved to Portlaoise to facilitate that.

Agreed, I think TG4 will choose whichever of the two semis Offaly are a part of and it’ll more than likely be in Portlaoise.frankthetank wrote: ↑Wed May 08, 2024 9:07 pm Following tonight's results we can be fairly sure we will be hurling in Portlaoise next Wednesday evening one way or the other.

Hopefully turn out a massive crowd.

The only negative I can think of was leaving players like Screeney on for the full game, surely he should’ve been called ashore early to spare him for the bigger games to come.Buttons wrote: ↑Wed May 08, 2024 9:02 pm After the first 2-3 minutes there was only going to be one winner.

Clearly Adam Screeney, Donal Shirley, Dan Bourke and Cathal King should have been replaced at an early juncture but that's not the way Leo O'Connor or Johnny Kelly work. And we all know that. And we all know this power play is going to bite Offaly in the ass. Two massive egos who will end up doing more harm than good.
They have already ended Dan Ravenhill's inter-county season, It will be by pure luck that they don't end someone else's.

Shot selection was a bit off at times. Went for a couple of goals that were never on. A few aimless long balls especially in the second half. Sloppy goals especially the second one.
But positives far outweigh. Adam continues to deliver and really is a joy to watch.
Looking forward to next Wednesday.
