Not getting at you here MR2 by any stretch of the imagination, but interested about the first sending off yday? My understanding was both players putting the butt of the hurl into each other waiting on the free?Just wondering what else or what was seen that allowed one to be a straight red and the other a yellow.And then also how does this compare to the Watson incident?similar thing with the butt of the hurl yet a yellow card was awarded?

Really really disappointing display tonight. Especially our older supposedly experienced players. As SG says they are still young with 9 players in around the 21 mark.But will need to look at how to transfer league to championship. Exact same position as Loughgiel were in before they cracked it and I have faith.Word is McShane and Cassidy have stepped down which begs the question who now???Positives for us were Saul and the two Donnellys in defence. ps. SG any tips on how to do it greatly appreciated

Anyone at Loughgiel/Ballycastle or Dunloy/Cushendall?

Money still all on Loughgiel?

The dall by 5 points here in dunloy

Full teams?

What chance are we giving our U21 team against Clare?

Loughgiel undoubtedly favourites going into the championship.Cushendall have no NcNaughton and McManus is out with a back injury since last month.Dunloy are a championship team and will give Loughgiel as much as they want but wont have the hurling.As for ourselves after watching that rubbish in Corrigan on Sunday evening we may aswell join Rossa in intermediate to win a handy championship title.

I don't think we have anything at all to fear v Offaly on Sunday and the fixture has a win for us written all over it.

p.s. Anyone know how many teams are relegated from our ACHL Divisions 1, 2 and 3 and also, how many teams are promoted?

Do they not normally wait to see who has been relegated first to see if they need to reformat the leagues the following year, I thought that was SOP. 

Only if its Ballycastle lol

I seem to remember Ballycastle recently taking their year in Division 2 and winning it to get back up?However again last year we changed to accommodate Down teams in our leagues!

Just a good game of hurling in Ballycastle. Cushendall unfortunately beat us by 2. Either team would be in with a shout of winning the competition. Several county players and backbones of both senior teams playing.

Anybody down in Mullingar today?An u21 team out?General feedback seems to be we hurled well but lack of experience caught up with us.We werent clinical and they kicked in two goals?

Also any reports from Down vs Queens?

[Also worth noting that St Johns players were at similar carry on off the ball in our own game although not quite to the same extent.]

I was at the two U16 games on Sunday as our own boys were involved after. The Belfast Geals player pulled him across the head twice and then another kicked him after running on.Almost Domino effect across the pitch as Belfast Geals players attacked Glenshesk ones.The parent in question then left the sideline and went to the aid of his son who was laying on the ground being stamped on.He pushed the Gaels players away as did other parents across the pitch it was at this stage cries went up from gaels parents about him "striking". Missed the reporter being headbutted and hit but heard them shouting at her to get her tits out etc.Disgraceful behaviour from gaels.Also mr2 catch yourself on.Defending your buddies from the city when they are clearly in the wrong.If rumours are to be believed Owen Elliot collecting photos of injuries to Glenshesk players and finding out about their trips to A+E.

You must have been at a different 'A' final from me Hurler24.  What I saw was 2 committed teams serve up a decent game of hurling, with some great personal battles thrown in and controlled well by the referee.  You would have us all to believe that those shrinking violets from the Town allowed themselves to be roughed up off the ball by those despicable Johnnies men!  What occured in the A final is definitely not 'worth noting', especially if you're making a half-arsed attempt at equating it to what happened in the match that went before.  Chalk and cheese, night and day, black and white all spring to mind.  The only thing 'worth noting' is the manner in which Ballycastle subdued the challenge of the opposition to deservedly win the county title.  Only my opinion mind...

Pure hurlers from the Glens, Pure thugs from Belfast.
Apparently thats always the way.

I think i made it quite clear that the strikes in the A final were not in the same league as the other game but what I will say is that I was behind the St Johns bench and the mentors there whinged at the Belfast referee throughout the game and IN MY OPINION he bottled two red card decisions.St Johns players struck several boys of the ball and the ref only gave yellows?But yes I wont complain about the performance as it was comprehensive to say the least.

Really disappointed in the performance today.complete capitulation led by a keeper who blew the gasket.Still believe we are good enough to win a championship but bottled it today. Fair play to Loughgiel they did the business

Out of interest should Watson have joined McGarry on the sidelines?throwing a players hurl into the tree?MR2 whats in the rulebook about that?lol

No your lack off respect for opponents simply reflects poorly.Loughgiel may be going for four in a row but they do not have a god given right to win

SIE your arrogance is up there with Ali and Mayweather!You are so confident of a Loughgiel victory and I wont lie if we beat you lot on Sunday it will be hard not to say to MR2 and yourself I told you so.Not saying we are favourites but I think this will be a much tighter game than many on here predict

Better hurlers or more experienced?I would go with the latter.
