Dunloy well beaten in the Ulster minor championship. What is it about this competition that Antrim teams don't have a great record in it?

Down 9 points in first four minutes and lost by nine
2 scores from play not good enough
Every time we ran at them we got a free
We where missing Shan Elliott and anton Mc grath
Dungiven very physical and a lot of our large players not interested
Think we are all going a bit soft over this side of the Bann
Dungiven goalie was outstanding
Stopped some bullets the whole match
There's a man with a mullet going mad with a mallet in Millets

It's strange. We play in the same league and our teams would be beating them comfortably enough throughout the year but often fail to produce in this competition.
I agree
We win it last year but fell heavily to slaughtneil the year before
Personally I think if Derry jacked the big ball they would be beating us handy a county level every year
We where shut down today the same as the senior ulster final
We need to much space to hurl and don't respond well to teams that bring intense tackling
Dungiven where more efficient in possession to
The question is are we lagging behind counties now we use to trounce both at club and county

I've said it for years!! If Derry were serious about hurling, they'd be a force!
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

A force where, Ulster?

Dont get carried away, they would be beating us more regularly i agree, but a force is a bit much.

We'll never know as football will always hold the aces! But they've had potential just lacked a county board that believes in them...

exactly why IMHO its a stupid thing to say.

The same thing could be said in a lot of different county's

just looking at the minor league and Kevin Lynches where getting absolutely hammered by nearly everyone, how come the turnaround.

Na Glinntí Glasa

did they have the football lads from the other clubs those games? the big full forward Tiernan is from Drumsurn isnt he?

our boys looked like they wanted to be anywhere but in Screen on sat. To be fair its been a long long season for them all. a lot of them have just done 3 in a row with the minors and play football and are still involved with our u12 footballers as well tomorrow night.

2-02 to no score down inside 5 mins it was game over. it was very disappointing when you consider that those two bad goals it was 2-05 to 0-05 at ht. doesnt help when we were missing 2 strong forwards but it was a minor title we shouldn't of been winning. It was a bonus imo as Rossa were the team who really should of been the team to have won Antrim.
hurl like f**k boi!

McHugh and Mullan would have been with Derry minor footballers all year and would have missed a lot of games due to that.
Maybe a few talented u16s didn't play in antrim league but came in for derry championship.

Folks, if a player transferred from an Antrim club to a club in England, can he transfer back when university finishes to his club in Antrim and be eligible for Antrim Championship?

It is a lot more straight forward than this lads, Antrim teams struggle in this competition mainly due to the conditions and the time of the year.

Yes there is work to do in terms of physicality but when the ball is moving faster during the summer skill levels and hurling count for more and this is demonstrated in the league scroes etc.

Yes maybe there is an element of softness but when the antrim lads are geared for summer hurling they arent able to transfer this across as easily.

Heard a big name looking to be in with Cushendall, could be interesting.
I heard PJ is looking a return to Loughguile.
