THE OFFALY LADIES football senior county final has been moved back by six days to avoid a clash with senior camogie semi-finals.
Concerns were raised when the female football decider between Naomh Ciaran and Tullamore was scheduled for Sunday week (2 October), the day after 11 players from the clubs were due to play in camogie senior A and B semi-finals.
An initial request by Tullamore for the game to be put back by a week was turned down.
However, following an Offaly LGFA county board executive meeting on Thursday night, the decision was made to re-fix the final to Saturday, 8 October.
In a correspondence to clubs this evening, Offaly LGFA confirmed the decision.
The Offaly champions are due to begin their Leinster campaign on 22 October.
Offaly LGFA have organised a sponsored walk for Saturday morning (24 September) to raise funds for the development of Bretland Park. It can be supported here.
I wish him the best of luck. St. Kilda is playing the Melbourne Demons, my team. He will have his hands full with the Dees forward line.
Great achievement. There has been a reduction in the Irish activity in the AFL this season. Basically only Touhy and McKenna. Would love if O’Connor could get more game time with Geelong and O’Riordan getting a start with Sydney.
A footballer from Kilkenny!!!! Wonder of wonders!!!
@Micheal S. O’ Ceilleachair: the dubs best footballer has Kilkenny blood in him
Well done to Joyce and that’s one less Kilkenny assassin that Galway have to worry about in the future
@Finnster: and Joyce a good Galway name!!!!!!
Great to see someone make it in professional sports. Well done
Fair play to him & the best of luck!!!
Some loss to the Kilkenny footballers though ……cough!!!
Paddy McCartin at half forward, sounds like a buck from Leitrim or Cavan.
@Enda Reynolds: whereas Maverick Weller is definitely one of them Wellers from Moate
