Antrim teams HATE parnell park, both club and county and with the possible exception of Cushendall performance against St Joseph's a few years back have never played to their potential.

As for the Galway Offaly game like many i fancy Offaly to make a decent fist of it but for galway to run out 7 points plus winners in the end.

we beat the Galway champions at Parnell this year in Club semi finals in football and hurling!!!

Antrim could maybe win it this year!!!

Was in Marmaris a few years back. Great spot - plenty to do and lovely beaches. Full of English though and any irish that were there were prod. Anyway not to be bigoted though - just pointing it out.
Would defo go again - loved it.

what a random piece of useless information!!!

We are heading to Salu in two weeks, cant wait we are staying at a keycamp resort with 3/4 pools and its located on the beach also.


stayed at home last year and went for a week up in the glens, was good but the weather was shite. typically weather great his yea and we are heading off to Spain!!!

P.S there will be prods in Salu

your off the level here, what was stated earlier was deliberately throwing the ball into someone and then pulling as hard as you can with no intention of hitting the ball.

By anyones language this is at least a yellow card if not worse, think you may be getting mixed up.

Yeah that's a bit different to what I was thinking about.

i know what you mean Johnny, pulling hard on the ball is fair game, but throwing the ball into someone and then having a go is a bit different..

sobering up after our annual dinner last night!!!! still have a stamp on my hand from somewhere

[if your a manager its very difficult to run with the policy of no train no play, the balancing act of having a wining team and a team of players who train all the time and are still shite wont win you too many games and you'll still feel frustrated.]

having taken a time senior team i had some serious excuses. but I've managed many of our reserve teams over the years and its the reserve players  who give out the most outlandish excuses. they are the ones with the chip on their shoulders and think they should be playing in the senior team all the time!!!

i was missing when God handed out diplomacy, was there when he handed out foot IN mouth disease.


Good luck illdecide, its rewarding when it all works out, the feeling when you head home after a wining game is great. we live in a generation where the kids now don't have the same commitment  as we did.

In fairness Milltown, if as a manger you are prepared to stick to that policy you will find that short term pain leads to long term gain IMO

try it FermGael,
while always having the core players that always turn up you end up with decent players that can't compete against quality opposition. maybe its different in football, any aul mug could play football, train hard and become a more than decent player, hurling is different altogether. in the long term a hurler cant improve his skills (significantly), he can only improve his fitness.

[Kevin Niblock was outstanding in nets]

beat the Johnnies tonight, Kevin Niblock was outstanding in nets for Naomh Gall, both teams missing players but a last minute peno won it for us!!

was impressed by St Johns even though we were missing a few players (feel like Skulll here )

The best CHF in the country playing in goal and you still won? The demise wished on St Gall's by the hopefuls has been greatly exaggerated methinks

Did Niblock go up and take the penalty himself?

First CJ, now Niblock. Who's next? Are you on some sort of grant for a "goalkeeper rotation scheme"? 

getting ready for the sevens, it's the 'fly nets' system

aye but were you missing players???

Ballygalget Ballycran and Portaferry are worthy of their div one status. no question. even when we were relegated by our own county board (and a Belfast and north antrim club backed it) those three teams were above us and we were on 11 points!! Ballycran eventually came down but proved their worth when forcing Dunloy all the way in the Ulster final. No Belfast team has done that since Rossa beat Dunloy.

shite happens and i think Rossa may win the league this year and the Johnnies the following year. who comes down? either Ballycastle or Ballygalget.

We wont be competing at senior for a few years now, players retiring and a general drop in numbers training. St Galls will regroup and hopefully in a few years time we will push for promotion.
