Antrim Hurling

[themac_23]

Great result at the weekend, timely boost for us, can have all the hard luck and nearly games you want but its nice to get 2 good points on the board against a team of a 'higher' standard, lets build on it

What is the story with fixtures for the league?why is it taking so long? Alot have counties played a round of league this past weekend and we havent even gotten the fixtures yet?I was under the impression that the fixtures commitee starts work on this very soon after last year is over and the relegation/ promotion is finalised?

I'm guessing this Joe McDonagh Cup is throwing a spanner in the works. 5 group games. Top 2 teams play before the Leinster final first Sunday in July. I'm saying nothing

They're probably Saturday fixtures like the Christy Ring, no?

Only placeholders for those fixtures exists as far as I'm aware.

I see some are fixed and some to be fixed and that's from the Antrim website;

Sunday fixtures are going to wreck the club leagues. Expect loads of Wednesday night games.

Separate topic but any idea why the county board only released the 1st four week's fixtures?

Hi guys.
Laois man in peace here!
Would any local radio station up there be covering Sunday's game?
Many thanks in advance.

[Na Glinntí Glasa]

yeah this past while they have been covering each game in football and hurling in ulster through the different twitter sites.

Im not sure if they are covering the game sunday as of yet but they have covered the most of them so far

[jdyok]

You could try 'weareulster.com'. They have covered a number of games online already this season...

prob due to the fact that Antrim will be this Joe McDonnagh Cup and there will be a blanket ban on all league games until Antrims involvement is over in it.

It seems thats the thought process behind it.

I think the game on Sunday will be a cracker. After the epic win last weekend I really do fancy us to win this one with a bit to spare. Another year in 1b is what we need and deserve.

A bit to spare, I'll take a one point win on the back of a dodgy free
Depends on how Laois travel tbh but if we can't win a relegation play off in dunloy then we deserve to be in div 2

5 point turn around needed, will home advantage and a previous win be enough? Laois to their credit have maintained a decent level of hurling lately and scored well against us last time out, if Antrim can cut out the needless frees, we'd reduced their scores by at least 8/9 points, some frees are unavoidable but the easy ones for the ref to give will hurt us on Sunday, their free taker didnt miss much  I think..

The other thing was, well done on putting the Limerick game to bed and performing like they did to beat Offaly, that has to be noted, also should we get the result on Sunday, barring the Limerick game (which I never thought we'd be close) Antrim have had a very competitive season against teams who will be at the business end of things come the late summer
