Terrible news about John McCaughan from Cushendun.

God rest him, a hardy tight fecker on the pitch and gentleman off it.

Life is to short lads, enjoy it.

any of use go to the Feis final yday? i was there for the camogie final but left after it.

seen the U16 mcmullan cup final before it tho. was a cracker of a game.
hurl like f**k boi!

Jesusjones

McMullan Cup and senior Feis were both cracking matches. Any time you do a double on Loughgiel you are going well. Still don't think anyone will touch Dunloy come Championship.

It'll take a very good team to beat Dunloy..

Yip totally agree. Foundations were set in place when the new academy was built and its reaping it rewards now. Are they the benchmark for youth development over the last few years?

Na Glinntí Glasa

its a mixture of the academy, good coaches at underage level and luck as well that they have all developed along so well. A building wont make kids play well and develop them into senior hurlers, footballers and camogiers, its the coaches they have and the parents who invest all the time into them.

I was well impressed with the U16 final as a neutral. Loughgiel to their credit gave it everything considering that was their 3rd match that week and could of won it but for some seriously good defending by Cushendall. Didnt get to see all of it as i was on the second pitch with the girls but what i seen it was a great game for a neutral.
hurl like f**k boi!

Anyone know when Championship match dates are being released

I don't think Dunloys facilities have anything to do with it. They happened to have a lot of very talented players and excellent coaches. If the players don't have the natural talent and the coaches aren't up to scratch it wouldn't matter if they trained in an Olympic village.

agree with this. The facility is wonderful and it gives us, and other clubs, the ability to train all year around. But its the coaches and the natural talent that gets them to that level in all 3 codes.

I agree that you need 1) the right coaches, 2) the right type of player (with natural ability is a bonus)  but having 3) the facilities that Dunloy have make things so much easier. Full credit to them.
When a team loses, there's always a row at half time, but when they win, its an inspirational speech

Be careful what you say. We know there is at least one very fit ref in Antrim.
