A chance for one to redeem himself this weekend I see.

Should be a handy one all the same.

Dunloy 12+.

Cushendall to win the replay 8+.

I'll go for
Dunloy v Loughgiel - Dunloy by 6

Cushendall v St Johns - Cushendall by 3

St Galls vs Lisbellaw - St Galls by 7

Cushendun vs Na Magha - Cushendun by 4

Rossa best Cushendall in the fiele final last year, can't remember the score line but it was a fairly wide margin.  That same Cushendall were very strong in North Antrim!
What happens next????

Maybe that's why he has that large wedge of lemon lodged in his gob.

Challenge is to get through that the feile isnt the end goal and to get the lads to stick at it past this and through the ranks upwards. Obviously challenges are greater for this for Belfast clubs traditionally, but it needs to happen regardless to get Rossa and other clubs back to competing regularly for senior honours.

Rossa's underage success over a significant number of years was purely down to clever poaching, manipulation in relation to transfers and sanctions.  The winning factor was the carrot and guaranteed trips to Feile.  I'd say over the past twenty years, you'll probably not find a more successful hurling club at underage level.  Only 1 senior Championship in 20 years tells its own story.

keep her low this half

But they are the only club in Belfast to win a senior hurling championship since the early seventies. And as regards player poaching, all the big clubs poach off small clubs. Plenty of juvenile hurlers from Armoy, Cushendun and Carey playing for Cushendall, Ballycastle and Glenariffe, Even Loughgiel with their pick have pinched the odd hurler from Armoy over the years :)

Gaelic Life tipping St. Johns to win the replay...

Na Glinntí Glasa

it could go either way sundays game but i think that Cdall have that edge in terms of knowing how to win a championship and could take it by 2 points.

Looking forward to it
hurl like f**k boi!

Right up there with the lie that Belfast teams don't fulfill their fixtures that you went scurrying to the county board with before being exposed as the bitter wee bullshitter that you are.
Keep it up!

When a Belfast club has a sniff of potential success they will fulfil their fixtures otherwise more often than not, will play at home but will not travel to NA.  Any NA club will relate to this.

You were proven to be telling lies. Joe Edwards went through every unfulfilled fixture and showed everyone at county convention that this claim was entirely false and that the clubs at fault for unfulfilled games were spread throughout the entire county and beyond it. Indeed, it even provoked the chairman of NA to apologise for including this nonsense in his annual report.
Keep peddling it if it gives you comfort.

Rossa (and Belfast select) must have gathered up a good team that year!  You keep referring to "me", I made no such claims at convention.

Didn't know Glenariffe were a big club

5 out of 5 senior semi finals played outside Belfast this year.gaa has recognised that Belfast is struggling with the gaelfast initiative.Seems county board are very happy not to promote our games in the city.Absolute farce.You would think that with casement gone they could at least try to encourage our games in the city even if it is just to pretend they are impartial.

Na Glinntí Glasa

what venue in Belfast can take the crowd that will turn up on sunday?

hurl like f**k boi!

Corrigan.
Lamh Dhearg

St Johns play at Corrigan ffs.. Lamh Dhearg? No chance.

Simple fact is that the venues are outside Belfast due to parking.

Na Glinntí Glasa

thats pretty much it PJ. theres not enough park available for the game this weekend. Ballycastle or Dunloy can take a large crowd and get them parked for a game and Ballycastle has the best viewing options of any ground in Antrim.

Ive no problem going to game in Belfast but he hard truth is that the county know they will lose on the gate if it was taken to Lamh Dhearg or St. Johns hence why its taken to the likes of Dunloy or Ballycastle. Its all down to where they know a venue which will attract a large support along with a large neutral crowd.
hurl like f**k boi!

auld stock

The bank at far side of lamh dearg has been completely removed & is now a level surface unsown. Maybe they are building a second pitch??   So only elevated viewpoint there atm is behind the goal where im assuming all the cars would be parked
