Antrim Hurling

Ah- thanks. Yeah it kind of is a procession to that stage though I think there is some significance to the johnnies win. Realistically the top three pick themselves it's just the order.

Was that Antrim's 2nd team in the camogie final today? Have they another team in the intermediate comp?

Second team first won intermediate last year retained senior again this year

I see on TSG that, if you win intermediate, you can't play intermediate again for 2 years.

Galway will have some panel next year if they get 5 or 6 of these intermediate players coming through.

So are those selected simply those who don't make the Intermediate squad or are they from Junior clubs?

Not sure as there are ballycastle and Cushendall and Ahohill players I'm sure there are Loughgiel too, its probably players that will be on their clubs second teams I'd assume..

Cork had a team in the intermediate and senior finals yesterday, so not uncommon

[imtommygunn]

I don't think it is second teams. I think Kelly would be on Ballycastle's first team and a those Cushendall ones would be on Cushendall senior team. I suspect Laverty is on Loughgiel's too. She was saying she was on the senior panel but dropped off it last year.

I think it's just those that don't make the squad.

Also they seem to tend to be younger as I think the plan is to bring them on to the intermediate.

So like club, teams are graded and the seniors must grade a squad and any that are not on that senior team are available for the seconds? Huge boost to the the camogs and hopefully inspiring new ones to take it up..

Our club have started with a Camogie team lately and its getting good numbers its seems so hopefully we can keep it going, all 4 areas covered plus handball also, we might not be winning much but providing a great sporting cultural environment

I am not 100% sure on the details but yes I think that is what it is.

I'd be interested in Max Power's comments. Two teams is bound to leave a hell of a lot of players out of club action.

The county teams do seem to be well prepared and are generating good interest. But almost 3 months went past with NO fixtures for the rest of the girls left behind

The County board cancelled Feile last year as it clashed with a senior county fixture and I just fear the priorities are misplaced!

[imtommygunn]

3 months is a lot.

At least in Down they run off a league without the county camogs, senior and junior.

Lacking in quality but gave the rest a run out.

If I'm not mistaken the County Camogie Board is pretty much a new executive this year, so anything that happened last year can't be laid at their door. This is the first year of the split so it will obviously take abit of tweaking to get things right for next year in regards to fixtures as that is a long time for the club players. Personally I think the Junior team is a good idea.
Only having 5 (I think) team in Division 1 is a big problem, so you have mainly 4 teams forming two squads (Dunloy, Loughgiel, Ballycastle & Cushendall) with a few from other clubs

There seems to be a push from the Camogie board to get more clubs playing, I have noticed Moneyglass and Davitts fielding in recent years who would be relatively new, good to see.

St Brigids played Naomh Gall last night in u14 camogie Championship, it was the first time either club had played u14 C'ship. Great to see
