I think Cushendun use Cois Abhainn Duinne, and dont quote me but I had heard at one time the difference was where the village is settled Cushendun at the mouth of their river and the main part of Cushendall a bit up from the sea, but the original "Cushendall" settlement had also been at the river mouth where now is known as Dalriada. So cois abhain dalla is an older name for an older development.

It was also called Newtownglens for a while too I hope thats you fully confused on the issue now 🤣

Quote from: Duine Inteacht Eile on December 17, 2023, 08:17:36 PMHas anyone any idea why Cushendall is referred to in Irish as Bun Abhann Dalla? Cois Abhann Dalla would appear to be much more obvious as the "Cush" can't have come out of nowhere. Must be a reason though.

This is extremely important btw.

Are they not both just descriptors for the bottom or lower part of the river Dall?

Quote from: Oso on October 16, 2023, 09:58:16 AMPeople are missing the point.

Every county streams club games, Jerome doesn't give us anything that isn't available in any other county for their club games and he gets to monopolise ours.

Let him stream them, I don't care (I'm sure he's well renumerated) but that doesn't mean he needs to also do any of the talking or commentary, especially regarding hurling. My issue is with his complete lack of any knowledge or insight on commentary, he's a just a jumble of clichés.

Regarding the game. Loughgiel left that one behind them. The number of scores they coughed up and gifted Cushendall playing short out of defence cost them.  That wouldn't have been as much of an issue on the bigger pitch in Ballycastle.

If the game had gone on another few minutes loughgiel would have won.  Cushendall may well have the size physically for slaughtneil but I don't think they have the fitness and mobility to maintain the intensity required to beat them.

If, if Cushendall beat the Down champions, the final will probably be Armagh.



I thought Armagh would be the likely venue for the semi, not sure that would affect the final venue

Tyson Fury raging out because True Geordie calls the Chisora fight for what it is.

Kind of funny, caught Fury on a bad day? or is he just a ball bag all the time lol

The event itself would be over hyped and that will be sufficient to sell it out. We are a nation of event junkies. If Garth Brooks can sell 400,000 tickets off belting out a few country music tunes then Katie Taylor will sellout Croker no problem with the right marketing.

should make her fight 4 nights in a row

Is the Donaghy who was CHB for Cushendall against Cushendun the boy who used to play for st endas? If so I'd imagine he's a big loss to them.

Tis

I was looking for him the other night as he's always under the ball or picking up the pieces, which they were lacking v Ballycastle. Body blow for St Endas. I think he's from Cushendall?

yeah hes originally Cushendall.

Looking at the line up Endas were missing a few key players as well, Diamond, Maskey and McGoldrick

I understand subscription for TV shows movies and sports I have some myself,

But who thought a subscription service for News Streaming was ever going be a success? I'm surprised they even had 10k

My only real concerns about signing Hart and McCarthy is that there's no way they are Anges choices.

Totally disagree. I'd imagine after watching the team in the games so far he's pleaded with the board to give him a few experienced pros who can give leadership. I'd say he's absolutely delighted with these signings.

I'll walk back my statement after seeing what Ange said during the week as you say it sounds like he brought them in for the experience and leadership. it's just the fact we;'ve been linked with these 2 for years now made it seem unlikely to be him.
