Watson is still one of the best forwards in Ulster. If Loughgiel had got him more ball in the County Semi Final they probably would have beat Dunloy. I suspect he'll hurl again.

DR if you don't beat Ballycran by 10 points I'll be surprised.

At this stage everyone knows about the ticket van on the way into championship matches. It isn't like a league game that you dander into 3 minutes before throw in. Game should have started on time.

Good highlights of yesterday's matches on the BBC website. Mark Sidebottom critical of both referees during the commentary.

Out of all the good points yesterday, Sidebottom/BBC had to include the incident with Watson and the corner back.

Two very enjoyable games, I thought Cushendall had the beating of St Johns when the half time whistle blew. St Johns took their chances from placed balls and fair play.

I thought Dunloy were well worth their victory.

Thought St. John's got a few handy frees. The thing with Watson and the corner back was a bit of handbags. Nothing in it worth talking about. He can still take a score when he gets a chance. Pity the other Loughgiel forwards didn't support him. Dunloy had a far better spread of scores and more options up front and that was the difference.

A few handy frees? Quite alot...

Watson still has it surely..
Was trying to be diplomatic... But yeah, quite a lot.

No point being diplomatic.. I'd love to see a re run and do a free count.
Can't give you the total free count but scorable frees McManus 0-4 from 5. Nugent 0-11 from 12.

Found both games really negative yesterday with all 4 teams playing some form of sweeper system. We got 2 goals, one from the worst poc out I've ever seen. So across 2 matches only really 1 goal created and scored from good open play. With the quality of forwards on show you'd have expected more goals than that. Dunloy's to loose at this stage...

Last year we lost every game and ended up in a relegation play off. This year we won 2 games and had a chance of making the final. How is that not an improvement? Outside managers cost a fortune and are only interested in promoting themselves.

Thanks. That Doora-Barefield team had Seanie McMahon center back, Ollie Baker at midfield and Jamsie O'Connor wing forward.

I think Birr beat us handy in 92. Since then we've at least been in the game till the death.

We've nothing to fear going to face St. Thomas's. Parnell Park will be a bog particularly given the weather today and that should suit us down to the ground. Whether we start with Carson or McAfee in full forward our game plan won't change. They are both hard to work with on the edge of the square and if they aren't winning clean ball they are breaking it down for those around them. It'll be a day for doing the basics well, keep it simple. Slaughtneil could and probably should have beaten Na Piarsaigh last year but for some bad mistakes when overplaying and taking too much out of the ball. Play to our strengths, we are a big strong physical team. Route 1 please and we'll be in with a shout.

makes sense to be fair, i wouldn't of expected yourselves to be giving up your pitch so close to the game.

how do you fancy your chances against them?

It's a huge ask but if our big players perform we'll not be far away.

i see people questioning on twitter why both games are in corrigan this weekend when previously advertised in Cdall and Glenavy.

to be fair  was told by one of the hurlers in the county panel over a week ago that the Kerry game was to be in Corrigan.

We've been using our pitch for training over the winter and with 2 weeks training time to go to the All Ireland Semi Final the last thing we need is a match on it in these conditions.
