Dunloy v Ballycastle. I hate to say I told you so but...

On a scoreline like that they will be hard enough to for tomorrow's winners

Need to remember Ballycastle were really poor though

Exactly
I don't know how good that is for preparation for a final

17 - 4 at halftime .....Dunloy made 5 subs and took the foot off the gas. Dunloy would really need an intense game next weekend which would be hard to come by this time of year.

It's been building up like that for Dunloy all year MR2. The young forwards like Keelan Molloy and Coby Cunning have been getting better with every game. They are maturing well. Having Shorty back to full fitness is massive, he is like a new man and was the stand out performer today. They'll be hard stopped now.

Great to be in a final but the favourites will come from tomorrow's game
first thoughts are with the kid that got knocked down in cargin

Tragic news for the child and his family, hopefully he pulls through. Another accident on the stretch of road.

Lads regardless of how Ballycastle performed today Dunloy obviously went to town (no pun intended) previous minor winners for few years and current under 21 winners, add in that experience and it's a great combination, too many big winners and experienced clubmen at the club to let things get out of control but things look familiar

Hard to tell from the game the level that Dunloy are at, the town were atrocious.

Dunloy dominated early exchanges and probably killed off the any little confidence that BC had.

Some lovely scores in the first half second half a non event.

Ballycastle pitch dodgy for today. Possible venue change coming.

Where else could they go to? Creggan? Saw games called off in Glenravel and Ahoghill this weekend. Move it to 4.30 and play in Dunloy?

[Jesusjones]

Cushendall pitch could taken another game!!!

[Two Hands FFS]

Confirmed for Ballycastle at 3.30

Not going to be pleasant.  Heavy rain forecast most of afternoon though it's still dry here and rain was forecast for now.   It's also fairly breezy.

As for yesterday that was pretty disappointing but I suppose it was a bit delusional to think that a month of taking training seriously would be sufficient to trouble a fully committed, talented Dunloy team. 

The rain has now arrived (11:45).  Knocklayde's invisible.  Bring your wets lads!

[paddyjohn]

C'Dall well worth the victory, hit 7/8 wides into the bargin and had perfectly good point ruled out. How the linesman couldn't see I dunno..

[Glentaisie]

My predictions as good as the BBC's weather forecast 

Congratulations Cushendall & Dunloy.  Good luck in the final.

[Jesusjones]

Delighted with that performance. Defence was awesome. Hard luck to Loughgiel they fought like champions it was just our day.

[Glentaisie]

Interesting final  not a "traditional" rivalry.  How often have they met?  Can remember 1 time the Dall beating Dunloy in a final but that's maybe 20 years ago?
