If the football championship was set for Aug/Sept would the north Antrim clubs be happy to play championship in June, or at least the inital rounds?

No one any the wiser after the weekends games, still going to be all on the day between Cushendall and Dunloy. LG win the other semi final handy enough so it's as you were really.

MR2 I think maybe there is a perceived lack of respect to the hurling championship by your boys from other clubs, might explain some of the rougher treatment handed out.

There's no lack of respect at all. If anything the lack of respect is directed towards St Galls and other clubs who compete in both codes. Compare St Galls run in to the match yesterday with Cushendall. Two senior football championship fixtures, senior football league fixtures, minor championship, not even leaving one clear week to address hurling solely. Cushendall had an uncongested run of a few league fixtures and plenty of time in between to focus on preparation, perhaps including challange matches. Considering that 18 of the football panel also play hurling there is a big demand on the St Galls players in every way. And don't forget these boys have been on the go for a few years now. Surely the timing of the two championships has to be reconsidered. Would the north Antrim clubs allow that though? As far as I know Rossa were having to play senior football fixtures before their hurling championship and St Johns played St Galls last Wednesday night. St Galls have no complaints about the game and the result and good luck to Cushendall.
