Antrim Hurling

[Milltown Row2]

Bottom teams in 1A and 1B play off, loser goes back to Div 2 next season.

Is it head to heads first then points difference?

Antrim have a 27 point advantage over Laois at the moment.

If Laois beat Antrim and we are both on two points then head to head will mean we play Westmeath

[BrendanAntrim]

Yes head to head first, so if we don't get something off Wexford it's a huge game fir Laois, a chance to avoid the relegation play off. TBH I think we are a different level than Laois now, especially at home with 500 supporters

I think another possible scenario is if clare didnt win any of their last 2 games, and laois beat us, we would all have 2 points and in that case i think its points difference between the three teams and we have a good points difference over laois at this time. Of course thats just one scenario, clare might get another win.
And the main thing is that hopefully we should beat laois. They seem to be fading in the 2nd half of their games this season and we have been strong in the 2nd half of our games. But it will still be a tough game. 2 wins would be a great return from this season in div 1

ATM if I'm going with my head Wexford will beat Antrim , hopefully yous will beat Laois , more than capable

[groundlie]

If we beat wexford are we in with a shout of a league final still?

[BrendanAntrim]

There is no league final

Think Dublin showed us our level in this one unfortunately.

We are still in that zone really, too good for Joe Mc and not quite at the level for the McCarthy.

Tactically we got it wrong and didnt play through the lines enough, Liam Rushe killed us sweeping up any loose long balls. Hopefully it is a learning session for the lads for later in the year, but we struggled so badly on the left side of the defence and it was difficult to recover that.

Is Ronan Molloy in the panel? I thought he was about Dunloy's best player in the championship last year and worth some gametime. For me Walsh has been a great find in full back and definitely needs to be kept there.

[Na Glinntí Glasa]

No he isn't with the panel this year. he wasn't included in the panel for the final and decided that would do him.

Personally i cant understand that as he was the best defender in our panel last year and will only get better. He's still young and has many more years ahead of him so hopefully down the line he will be in the antrim squad.

[imtommygunn]

Yeah I thought he was superb for you last year. If McManus is needed in forwards him to rhb, Campbell to midfield and McManus up front would have been good. Pity but not much you can do.

[groundlie]

Id rather walsh at half back. He's wasted in full back. A half back like of molloy mcmanus and walsh would be ideal.

Who you putting in at fullback?

f**k, statements like this belong to the 80's. No point having a full forward line of Christy Ring, DJ Carey and Henry Shefflin when you don't have a good fullback.

There's a reason Galway finally won an AI with Daithi Burke in at fullback even though he was one of their most influential midfielders..

He shut up shop..
