Predictions for the weekend?

Will Martin Burke be fit? Had to come off injured during the semi final, he would be a brave loss for the dall

McCotter from Sarsfields?

He has already ref'd Dunloys first two matches dont think he would be allowed to ref 3 in a row.

Owen Elliott most likely to get it?

Carey to edge it, conditions will play a big part in the game and think carey will deal with them better! McKenna a big loss for Sarsefields

Were will the final be? Ballycastle or maybe Loughgiel?

Terrible conditions yesterday but Cushendall deserved the win. Couldnt believe Loughgiel allowed Eoghan Campbell to sit back in front of the full back line with no1 marking him. he cleared serious ball and thats were they got most of their scores from. should have been pushing up on him especially in the last 10/15 minutes! McGill very accurate with ball in hand, him and McManus both hit some big scores in the second half.

[means more money]

The Venue for the JHC and IHC Finals is a disgrsce.

Both Belfast Clubs travelling while the NA teams nip nxt door.

Surely made sense to play them at Ballymena or Randalstown?

Obviously would be fairer on the city teams having the matches in Ballymena or Randalstown but County dont care what is fair. Main reason for having the matches in Armoy is that they will get a bigger crowd there as apposed to Ballymena/R'town. Bigger crowd means more money.

Which is required to keep the county operating and functioning?

Or would you rather it was taken to Belfast where still the only people (in the main) there would be from the two NA teams?

I never said it was wrong to have it at a venue that draws a bigger crowd. I simply stated the reason for it being there in the first place.

Cushendall & lgiel match could go either way. small margins will decide it, cdall bound to be worth a bet at the prices. any word on the referees for the two matches?

Any venues decided yet for the senior semi finals? Cdall v lgiel probably be in dunloy on the sunday with bc v dunloy possibly in cushendall on the saturday evening?
