Antrim Hurling

[Fear Bun Na Sceilpe]

Folks I've just heard this evening that a well respected underage coach in North Antrim has stepped down from taking his club's U15 team due to a complaint being made to the club chairperson by a parent about their child being substituted.   Maybe there is more to it but it sounds disappointing from the parents point of view.  Almost like sour grapes.

Who is this coach?

Who actually listens to a parent? This has to be a joke?

Executives

Executives exactly.  From what I've heard,  the parent in question is a committee member within the club.  And I'm lead to believe that this parent has been trying to interfere with this coach's work throughout the year.  So maybe the coach in question has simply had enough of this and doesn't feel supported by the club's executive.

I'd say there are a few parents who would be hard to work with.

Especially the ones who would stand behind the wire and wouldn't lift a cone.  They'd be the most vocal if wee Jimmy doesn't get a start in an underage tournament.

Gleeson getting another 2 years with Antrim.

Good move by Antrim. Now he can sit back and watch the championship games and add to his panel.

That's great news. I was worried he would move on. It will be a tough year next year mind you.

Thought last year was tough and Antrim managed to win at Croke gain entry to McCarthy cup and stay in Div 1... you'd want that every year

Ihave to agree MR,good news

I think next year will be brilliant, 5 Div 1 league games and 5 Championship matches, can't wait.
Good to see Gleeson signing on again, well deserved

Cushendall walking away with it. Far better side in every dept.

That streaming is not good. I can watch a minute or so at a time then the page crashes. About the third time it kicks me out of being logged in and now I can't even select the option to login again. I would be wary of paying for that.

From what I saw cushendall having it easy.

Streaming is pure rubbish. Camera work is crap.

Hope all improves

Changed browser and at least it work. The commentators didn't seem to notice maskey getting the red. Had to be as it was pretty rough. (At least I think it was red?!). Out of character and more frustration tbf.

Strong enough cushendall team. There'll not be many beat them though still hard to look past Dunloy.

He getting no change at all. Left high and dry in there against 2 men.

[imtommygunn]

Yeah and two Burkes too. Never understood why Martin Burke not a regular for Antrim.

Always seems bothered with injuries. A tough cookie also
