Club football 2025

Shamrocks gave a very disappointing performance against Tullamore. Tullamore operating on a different planet. Tullamore were just way more well drilled as well as having better individual players. They didnt kick any two pointers however. Cillian Bourke in particular is outrageous. Daire McDaid looked quality when he cane on. Tullamore have such depth that they should win both the senior and intermediate titles this year. Shamrocks didnt even really have any good individual performances. They can hardly get Jack Bryant on the ball. The difference in quality was huge, it's hard to believe both sets of players are from the same town.
Ferbane Edenderry wasn't a great game. Both teams playing as if they were qualified regardless. Ferbane looked a more cohesive outfit however. Edenderry overall were disappointing with the quality of player they have to choose from.

[private joker]

They will probably not win ten in a row as that's quite difficult but I'd say they could at least contest ten in a row. Time will ultimately tell.

[del]

On yesterdays game Ferbane will be disappointed not to have got the win they were the better team for long stretches of the game and will get better with returning players in Oisin Kelly and paddy Clancy Edenderry will be thrilled to top the group and avoid Tullamore in the semi final.
Not much to be said about the shamrock’s Tullamore game. Tullamore’s work rate stood out a mile and shamrocks with a talented group flatter to deceive again
Tullamore still have Diarmuid Egan Nigel bracken and niall furlong to come back into it with along with Declan hogan and Daire Mcdaid back yesterday
Paddy Dunican looked to have sustained a serious knee injury didn’t look good

Rahan Parish extends to the southern outskirts of Tullamore, The Harriers Stadium, St. Colman’s Terrace to the Fingerboard.
Not quite the same town.

The last theee years they lost a final and won two by 2 and 1 points it’s a bit early for 10 in a row talk

Hard to win 2 in a row, 10 in a row, maybe in a bar.

Harriers stadium is in Tullamore parish. Rahan extends to the front gates of charleville castle as far as I know.


The wider point however in this day and age of people (including myself) not really having a clue where EXACTLY one club ends and the other begins is an ongoing farce. I challenge even the most diehard club member to be absolutely certain of their EXACT, to the meter, club boundaries. Not ‘somewhere over there’’.

On the Offaly GAA website (and every county website) there should be a Google maps with the club boundaries overlaid so that everybody can see exactly what the state of affairs is and remove all the guesswork and ambiguity once and for all.

Would I be right in saying that rhodes area starts not far from the gates of clonmore gaa this could be a complete laid nonese it’s just for some reason I recall being told such and that there’s actually some important players for rhode the could have played with clonmore

There’s a part of pullagh that’s in Ferbane/high street/boora parish

I believe Johnny Cooney was from that area but played with Erin rovers ,

[biffinbanner]

hard see past tullamore this year but remember the main talking point after last year was the performance of the referee in the final. the same lad who reffed the game saturday. at least saturday the wrong calls were 50/50.!

I think Rhode’s boundary is roughly 150/250 yards from clonmore’s pitch . Very open to correction on that .

[SearingDrive]

Clonmore Harps are in Ballinabrackey parish, Co. Meath. 3/4 Offaly townlands are in Co. Offaly. Separate club to. Rhode.

It should go by the voting register
Parishes are academic
Now as priests are doing the father ted to say as many masses in different parishes
Isn't defunct
I'm surprised it was never challenged in court
Times are a changing there is those in society that harber or the past
But it's gone
With the ass and cart
Secondary school gaa is so massive in comparison to what it was even at the millennium.
It's a discussion which has to happen.
For the good of the game.
It's just my opinion.

Once you go over the bridge in Pullough you’re in Derryneavy which is technically in Ferbane parish but players from there play with Pullough.

Similarly, some players over Gallen bridge have played with Ferbane despite being in Cloghan parish.

The parishes go back a long time, way before the GAA was founded.
The reason priests are saying multiple masses, is that there are very few priests today, as in former times. Parishes are grouped together to provide a weekend Mass in a couple of churches. Father Ted like, as you say.
Not all counties have a parish rule for GAA clubs.

[ah lethimoutwithit]

Parish rule needs to be revisited.
There are clubs from time to time that hit rock bottom and that could coincide with a talented players key years and potential to make an impact and make county or play at a high level in club.
This shite of where you were born is hard to take for some that find themselves in that scenario. Every player with the potential, should have the opportunity to play at senior if they are deemed good enough.
They should also be able to play with their home club.
But its an amatuer sport at club level and a players right should be respected.

[ah lethimoutwithit]

Especially now as our Junior grade is effectively Junior B and Intermediate is Junior A
