Offaly claimed an important win over Westmeath. They'll be looking to get to 8 points. Westmeath can only get to 6 points at best. Offaly shouldn't have to be depending on any result from Laois v Westmeath in Round 5. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7911 - 27/04/2024 17:47:13 2540970 Link 0 |
Kerry beat Down by 0-26 to 2-12. It was a close enough game up until Down had a man sent off. Kerry kicked for home after that. Kerry's McDonagh status should be secure after that. Many were worrying about that after the league. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7911 - 28/04/2024 14:53:02 2541168 Link 0 |
Kerry are going to be a major handful for (Offaly and Laois). Anyone denying that is misdirecting. skirge7 (UK) - Posts: 254 - 28/04/2024 15:46:22 2541176 Link 0 |
I'd pencil Laois in as hot favourites. The winner of Offaly v Kerry should qualify too assuming no more upsets skirge7 (UK) - Posts: 254 - 28/04/2024 16:06:26 2541185 Link 0 |
Kerry won't fear Offaly, Kerry have beaten them a few times over the last few year albeit this is a relatively young and newish Kerry team. It will make the new few weeks interesting that's for sure, that McDonagh is always a closely fought and fairly even competition. The standard of hurling is really good.

Think thats the beauty of the Joe Mc, everybody is beatable, the games are competitive and always a good watch!

Laois and Offaly are the favourites to make the final. Kerry haven't played either of those two yet. It was only after Down had a man sent off that Kerry kicked on. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7911 - 29/04/2024 17:41:48 2541583 Link 0 |
Tough game for Kerry on Saturday. Laois are going well and have the look of a team ready for tier 1. They were not happy with Offaly B losing and keeping them out of a final last year. They seem determined this year. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7911 - 03/05/2024 22:51:29 2542740 Link 0 |
Just to note Laois didn't make the final last year because they lost to Offaly and drew with Carlow nothing to do Offaly putting out a second team in the last game. Which they were entitled to do as they were due to the ridiculous schedule they had to play with games 7 weeks on the trot tonorio (Offaly) - Posts: 609 - 04/05/2024 19:06:00 2542908 Link 1 |
Presume our feint hopes in McDonagh cup ended this afternoon in Ballycran? Five points maximum will be impossible to qualify on, leading by 7-8 in first half and then trailing by 7 twenty minutes later sums up our year, extremely disappointing, Joe Fortune surely won't be offered a third year, big changes needed.

Winner of Offaly Kerry next week should qualify, along with Lapis.

The result in Tralee today wasn't too surprising. Laois are men on a mission. Possibly Offaly are best placed to challenge them. Offaly v Kerry is nudging into semi-final territory, though it is in the penultimate round. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7911 - 05/05/2024 00:00:55 2543008 Link 0 |
Kerry won't fear Offaly: Understatement of the year. Agree w you and those that believe this is a worthwhile competition. The games are worth playing, teams worth beating. Laois have an edge to them. They have a clear mission. UpOffaly (Offaly) - Posts: 69 - 06/05/2024 16:44:35 2543350 Link 0 |
Laois and Offaly appear to be the top two. Offaly avoided Laois in the final last year. Laois have bounced back with a clear determination.
