Interesting result between Dunloy loughgiel. Loughgiel have been beating all round them and the Dunloy beat them by 15. Wonder do they have the county guys back.

Clearly decided it's time to start hurling. They've only been messing about until now. Great apathy towards the leagues this year in general. Not great for our game if the season is going to boil down to a handful of competitive games. Even the senior championship groups will largely be uncompetitive.

Again, intermediate is where the gruelling competition lies.

Intermediate groups are probably a bit lopsided too though. Cushendun, Carey & St Galls in the same group.

Yeah it's a fair point. Glenariffe touched lucky. Sarsfields at full strength will probably be the 2nd team to come out of that group. Carey or Cushendun will be hard to beat.


Fair
Do not wait to strike until the iron is hot, but make it hot by striking!

Cushendun look to have improved a lot. There's younger ones like Kilgores and McQuillans look handy enough on top of a few older ones. I think some played underage for cushendall.

NorthAntrim

Cushendalls loss is Cushenduns gain! A good few wouldve came up with Naomh Padhraig. Older players juvenile with Dall but a few senior transfers recently too

The split season is to blame for this apathy toward the league and the lack of proper games.

There's been apathy towards the league in Antrim for as long as I can remember.

Is there a bit of arse boxing with Loughgeil and Dunloy, with Loughgeil sending out a fairly weak team last night on the back of Dunloy pulling out of the Feis semi-final?

NorthAntrim

Creggan and Bredagh relegated? Glenarm survive in division 2 is a great step for them

NorthAntrim

Are St Johns also down?? Along with Carey

One down in Div 1
Let no-one say the best hurlers belong to the past. They are with us now, and better yet to come

St Paul's have been a lot more competitive than many thought as well

Old Time Hurler

Gortnamona two relegations in two years looking extremely likely. Division 4 for 2024.

NorthAntrim

Still not confirmed but their last few games look tough

imtommygunn

It's a pity to see that. Their footballers are dropping off a bit too.

keep her low this half

Naomh Padhraig got to two minor finals in three years about 6 years ago, mainly backboned by Cushendun hurlers. Plus they have had a few playing with both Cushendall and Glenariffe in recent years

After watching the Junior Feis Final in Dunloy tonight, you wonder how some referees get the games they get. That was an embarrassment. The crowd were dismayed from start to finish at his unashamed bias. How the Armoy players kept their cool I have no idea. Ruined a potentially good game between two well matched teams.

Do north Antrim men only get to do those games?
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Jonkunlon

Not sure. Maybe a good idea to have the city men officiating.
