Antrim Hurling

[NAG1]

It took a long time before Owenbeg hosted club games though...

I would have thought maybe a dozen years or so??

+1

If you recall Owenbeg in the early days it was not an overly nice place to be.

It has come on and has been developed into a quality facility.

[Na Glinntí Glasa]

It is good to see that its being progressed along and its starting to take shape that it can be used.

I know its harsh comparing it to Owenbeg as its a brilliant facility but the Derry county board have had their house in order a lot longer than we have. I would love to see a top class facility for our kids and adult teams to use but until that time comes then we will just have to work with what we have.

Theres plenty of spare ground around the pitches to expand facilities so theres room to improve the place.

It is a starting point and thats positive.

If the current executive left with dunsilly fully operational and fit for purpose - then that'd certainly be something to be commended. Let's hope we get that progress.

hope dunsilly doesn't end up like woodlands which is a hole

in what way is it a hole? New changing pavilion, great parking facilities and a full size 3G floodlit pitch... aye def a hole

Clearly he hasn't been in the last few years, but it fairness it was a hole before the work was done.

What he should have said was

hope dunsilly doesn't take as long as woodlands to end up 'not a hole'

[bannside]

As long as Dunsilly is good enough to accommodate our development squad activity and preparation of county teams etc it will be a very welcome development. From what I see it will adequately tick those boxes. Plenty of scope for further development in second or third phase if the money can be raised.

When Dunsilly is finally opened it is only fit and proper that a healthy dose of credit is extended to previous Coiste Bainisti for the roles they played in delivering this. It was a road full of unexpected twists and turns, but they stuck with it and to finally get the facility opened will be a great achievement.

The new board can take the project on a bit further in the next few years.

[Franko]

Owenbeg is a first rate facility but it must be remembered that Derry County Board bought the land for that in 1996/97 IIRC and it was finished in 2014.

Personally would rather they'd pulled out of the CR but I hope attitudes and performances improve quicker than I'd imagined. The very best of luck to both senior teams down in Dublin as well as our U14/15/16 & 18 teams out tomoro against KK and Dublin. A very important day at all age groups

[Seamroga in exile]

Good luck to all involved.
