Antrim Hurling

[Slemishgael]

Hopefully it all works out ok, I think it should. As I see it Davy, is a top manager and he's now with us. He has brought Bennett from Waterford in who seems to have been around with him a few years now with various teams so he'll be fine and know his stuff. McManus will have that connection with the panel and he's a leader to be fair to him. When he trained and played he gave his all - so he'll instill that in the group and the group will respect him. I think he'll be a very good addition actually. Graffin and Shivers both involved with the county U20s recently and have that connection with the players also. If anything I think it's a good mix they have and the Antrim guys in the backroom team will learn greatly from this also which will be valuable in the future. They'll be others maybe who will remain in the background like noted above re S&C coach etc.Like most intercounty set ups now the numbers in the backroom set up seem to be getting bigger. I hope over the next few months a good panel can come together now and give it a real lash and buy into it. Who knows where it could lead. Davy wont have a magic wand so it will take serious effort from everyone. But all in all, it should be fine - fingers crossed lol

What are the tiebreakers in the Hurling championship with regards to more than two teams levels on points? Could possibly be needed in both intermediate groups.  Is it the team with the best point difference overall or the best point difference between the teams involved?

Think it's overall, I remember an instance a couple of years ago Carey had to win a game v Gort Na Mona by 25+ points and won it by about 60

Two teams tied =Head to head rule
Three teams =  score difference;
Then total points for scored
Then Play off

Who are st olcans?

[Saffron71]

St Olcan's are an amalgamation of Tir Na Nog and Creggan.  Think they only field at U16 as both clubs seem to field on their own at the younger grades. At minor I think Tir Na Nog have maybe 2 or 3 Creggan lads hurling but not enough for an amalgamation.

Croke park changed the rules slightly on the three teams on equal points as it's now score difference only in the games involving the three teams against each other.

Did Antrim follow suit?

For club ? Because I think Munster & Leinster IC were operating differently for this years championship, one was score difference between teams affected and one was score difference overall (I think)

yes, for club.

Down use the "head to head" score difference version in the event of three way ties.

Is Stephen Beatty free to play on Saturday for Rossa? Suspensions are just in one code, aren't they?

Suspensions are 1 code yes depending on how serious the offense was. Not too sure how they grade them though

In Derry get suspended playing a Senior match but you're free to play reserves, make it make sense

I would imagine Antrim is much the same. I recall somebody telling me you're suspended from that competition so if you get a 1 game suspension from Senior football league then you are free to play Reserve league or Senior championships for example if that match comes before your suspension can be up.
