Antrim Hurling

[Fairhead]

Congratulations to every single player today. Proud day to be an Antrim hurling supporter. They all contributed positively and instead of Antrim making all the substitutions as the game went on it was Wexford. Maybe Wexford's heads were in the final already but they didnt perform today.

Massive congratulation to Kevin Ryan not just for working with the players but getting to them believe plus he also called it right in the paper yesterday about the county board scheduling football championship this weekend. What utter contempt they were showing for this competition but sure they always have! However im sure they will all be looking for seats on the bus to the final no doubt.

Finally amazing to see some posters on here already being so happy and excited after criticizing their county and Kevin Ryan all year. Hypocrites.

Yeah fair fcuks to Ryan and the players who were by all accounts hampered by the county, young McGuinness was playing for Rossa today, not sure if Jackson (edit. he played for Antrim)was playing or down in Ahoghill with our seniors but they have been put in a position that should not have happened.

The Antrim attendance today indicates how many gave them a chance.

Few and far between TB.

An outstanding result!
Well done to all concerned!
It's not being negative to say most of us acknowledge this is a bolt from the blue - but lets just enjoy it and hope it inspires everyone to make sure it occurs more often.
Great day for Antrim - and an even better one to come!

Surely the county board will have to take a look/rearrange championship fixtures for weekend of 14th/15th - should Bcastle & Cdall successfully make it through to semi final stage it will have massive impact on their starting 15. Thoughts?

Long oul drive. She's worth it sometimes.

Unreal result, I was at it along with 5 other Antrim supporters. That was it.

[samboswig]

Didnt see that coming at all. A tremendous result. Well done to all involved.

brilliant result, hopefully now we can build on that both for final but for the following years.  a lift not only for county but also kevin ryan which I am sure is badly needed after some of the attitudes to the county set up this year at all levels.

however and I am not saying this for reaction or to annoy.  with the both teams going into the final at full pelt I would suggest a 10- 15 point defeat would still highlight progress this year.  first time to reach final in the 50 years of the competition super.  would love to see minors progress to finals

Still can't believe that we won last night. For the first time in years we are able to be proud of an Antrim team, something we all have wanted.

I'm like others and have trekked to games in mullingar, navan and portlaois etc this year and its been tough to watch. Hell I was one of about 100 people who got their ass froze at the Walsh shild final. So this result hav made me smile and think that Kevin Ryan could be the man to push Antrim forward.
