Sad news. My daughter was at the Camán Camp in Cushendall last week and actually got a photo taken at his mural outside the Lurig afterwards. Legendary figure and played a beautiful part in Gaelic Games.

i believe GNM have a few men back and at home could make it tricky of cloughmills

a few games could go either way but all in all this stage of championship is boring. i think we need to go back to straight knockout

I've started my hurling team profiles on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. Anyone interested in doing one of them can send me a message. Players, coaches, supporters all welcome and will remain anonymous.

Anyone at any games this weekend?

Took in Glenarm and Randalstown this evening. TNN worth their win unfortunately. They played well and have a few quality players that made the difference at that level. Glenarm have been handed one hell of a draw for their first year up. Hopefully they do whatever is required to stay at intermediate. There's some good young lads coming through over the next few years so hopefully stay around that level and then start to push on once the next generation start filtering through.

Not many shocks really but one that surprised me a little was Lamh Dhearg beating Rasharkin in the Junior. I had a wee notion Rasharkin might go one better than last year but obviously that makes it more difficult.

Carey drawing with St Galls was an interesting one too. That group looks tight so that could mean anything by the end of it all. Point dropped or could be the point that makes the difference.

[imtommygunn]

Rossa beating St John's an interesting one too though if it's three to go through it'll not make much difference I imagine . It's usually 1st straight through and 2nd plays 3rd in the other group? That will probably put them out earlier.

Yeah rasharkin ld looked like the main shock one though like you say st galls probably did a bit better tha expected.

Loughgiel st endas is on live today. Not sure on time.

[imtommygunn]

Creggan beating glenariffe a shock and glenravel beating st pauls probably unexpected too.

[Kidder81]

Creggan beating glenariffe a shock and glenravel beating st pauls probably unexpected too.

It's not the league Creggan that's for sure

Has anyone seen the stroke from the Loughgiel player doing the rounds ? As dirty and cowardly as you will see

[CitySlicker11]

I'd maybe give him the benefit of the doubt and suggest extremely miss timed and reckless?

[breakingball]

Clutching at straws here.

One handed and with force.
