Antrim Hurling

Good fightback in second half but not enough

Hard luck lads. Beaten by 2 by Westmeath and by 1 by Laois.
A very impressive effort today

Impressive isn't the word I wd have used - unfortunately. Too many not up to the task on the day. First half wasn't good at all and yes 2nd half was a bit better but fell short. Nigel, Clarky and Johnty never looked at it for whatever reason. Always said they rely too heavily on McManus and that came at a price yesterday.

Think the only hope is really that WM would prefer to play Antrim in the final and they go out to knock Carlow out.

Disappointing result at the weekend again.

Molloy seems to be a breath of fresh air brilliant hurler with piles of speed I thought he would have been to light but seems to have proven me wrong. I believe Gérard Walsh is worth his place on that team however

James and Eddie loosing out to Keelan and Donal. To be honest a lot of changes could have been made. I would only hope that Aaron does a bit better than last week because he was very poor by his standards. I thought his striking was poor. IMO As for staying with the Nigel, Clarkey and Johnty, lets hope they perform. We cant afford to only play for half a match although if we cant beat Kerry ?? its the other match that really matters - Carlow - Its all or nothing

Michael Ryan has said they are going out to beat Carlow - I hope he's true to his word.

Westmeath starting to do the business now but unfortunately we are not!

Carlow well ahead now

Fairly disastrous campaign

imtommygunn · June 09, 2018, 04:42:13 PM

I wouldn't go that far. Couple of very close games that could have went either way.

It's pretty much reflective of where we are though we really need to win the relegation playoff now. Relegation would be a disaster.

old timers · June 09, 2018, 04:42:47 PM

All time low for Antrim Disaster

What points do you get for very close games ?

Minder · June 09, 2018, 04:51:26 PM

Relegation play off ??

imtommygunn · June 09, 2018, 04:55:00 PM

How is this an all time low?

If westmeath, laois and kerry had hammered us out the gate it would be close to an all time low.

We started this campaign knowing every game was touch and go. We won two and weren't that far away in the others. We haven't a god given right to beat these teams.

I read we are in a playoff with christy ring winners.
