Antrim Hurling

[Kidder81]

A serious effort by the neighbours,worked like dogs all day and put the body on the line.Sneil looked poor and as someone said above stick work was awful at times.Take nothing away from the Victors. Now it's up to everyone to catch Dunloy

Yeah that was my take, Sneil very so poor for long periods, wrong decisions, the amount of lifts Brendan Rodgers missed was crazy but I suppose they were right there at the end. Dunloy fought like dogs all day. Sneil FB line very dodgy all day

Look at the surface at Croke compared to Armagh, world of difference

Croke park hosts a fraction of the games Armagh Athletic grounds hosts

Was at the match and the surface was like a billiard table compared to a lot of places in December.

It looked sticky Crokes looked unreal, thinking Parnell's for semi final.. dates available yet?

Semi-Final v St Thomas was scheduled for 17th Dec but there's a club wedding. Game has been pushed back to the following day.

Not sure that is going to be the case, not sure GAA will be wanting to open Croker on the day of the World Cup Final.

Could be wrong but I'd have thought a double header on the Saturday would be the way to go.

Would the later date suit Dunloy? I know they has some niggly injuries and that would certainly help, though the surface at Croke would also help both teams.

At this point though I'd be putting my own team first regardless of a club wedding, if it worked in my favour to play it at the right time I would but if changing it meant I was able to prepare better and have a better chance then I'd take that option

Dunloy should play it on the 18th. They are on a high and full of confidence. That performance has been coming and 2 weeks is a sufficient timeframe to be ready to go again. They are the best club hurling team to come out of Antrim since Loughgiel of 2012. They'll give anyone a real good go!!
