Actually you could be right. I think they've waterford at home.

Good to see an Antrim team winning the mclarnon.

does Antrim have a chance tonight against Down?  strong team, probably the strongest for some years although the Down teams looks strong also.

Milltown would Eastwoods be doing prices for these games?

Looks like a strong team but then by all accounts Down are too. If they can get a good handle on McCominskey that would be a big help.

Kevin O'Boyle would need to face the ball if he's marking him. Every time the ball was kicked to his man on saturday night he was looking and the man and not the ball and then couldn' make it to the ball!

Antrim to win by 2.(or get beat by ten! I'll go for the former though...)

You were almost right with the latter....... Down 1-17 Antrim 0-8.

Crap - I hoped I was wrong with the latter. I suppose a lot of the team are underage again next year so that's a plus point.

I think a team with Mc Gourty, Crozier, Mc Cann etc should be putting up a better show than that though.

[imtommygunn]

Yeah - I thought that too. Just trying to put some positive spin on it...

Burke and Hasson too. A sizeable senior contingent

Bad defeat alrite. was Jody in charge?(not blaming him...just asking)

[Gold]

was anyone at it?

i couldnt make it

wot went wrong? who played well/badly?

[ONeill]

So I believe Mr Rea has left Chapel Hill and will be plying his trade on another Hill.

[ONeill]

No, the first time I got coul feet as he hadn't told the team!!

Yes he was. I shall leave it at that.

Absolutely, a manager should shoulder all the responsibility. Im sure the players in no way contributed to a 12 point defeat.
