Championship Finals weekend, how do we see them going.

Dunloy (4/7) v Cushendall (7/4)

Can't call this game had favoured Dunloy but as the week goes on I'm leaving more towards the Ruairi's. Will go for a draw.

St Endas (1/3) v Carey (12/5)

St Endas in this one for me, can't see past them even though Carey has the result of the championship so far in last round. St Endas by 6

Gort Na Mona (4/9) v St Paul's (15/8)

Having seen both sides in semi final action it has to be Gorts for the win here to cap off an impressive year. Gorts by 4

Gorts by 6

Carey by 4

Dunloy by 2

Hope to see a great game in cushendall tomorrow, could go either way but St Endas big favourites after a fantastic league campaign. 

Hoping that the referee gives decent protection to Rocket as he's targeted every game by opposition and nothing has been done about it in the championship to date.

Tomorrow's final has all the potential to be a classic. Hard to look beyond Dunloy but no better team than the battle hardened Dall to cause an upset. Dunloy very impressive all year. I wouldn't rule out a draw if I'm honest. The Dall lads have been there before.

It's St Endas' to lose in the Intermediate. Can't see Carey beating them. What a moment that will be for the hard work that St Enda's have put in over all the years in juvenile to see them be promoted and to win an Intermediate in the one year. Their progress has been a joy to watch and good luck to them. Have to feel for Carey always though. How many intermediate finals have they lost? Good people in Ballyvoy. Would be great to see them win one but just can't see it.

The junior should be a foregone conclusion. Gorts aren't a junior club and bit cheeky of them to claim this as any major success if and when they do win it (akin to my arguments about St Enda's in the football last year) . To score 30 points or so in the semi final V Rasharkin is evidence that they're in the wrong championship. And to think what a proud hurling club they used to be. They've been in junior final 2 out of the last 3 years now and won handy last time around. Looks like an easy option for me. They're kidding themselves and I'm sure the elders in the club are a bit embarrassed with a hallow championship win. St Paul's genuinely a junior club and I wish them well but can't see anything apart from a Gort annihilation. St Paul's have a dodgy full back line and a very dodgy goalkeeper. Gort strong up there so it'll be a goal fest.

Gorts won't be good enough to win Ulster

Fantastic news Antrim final on TV bad news people from antrim can't watch it

[Milltown Row2]

Dunloy taking too many shots!! Cushendall working better with the conditions

[glens73]

2 soft goals equalling things out almost. If Dunloy can get their shooting boots on in the second half and keep the ball moving, I'd fancy them

Why? I'm watching it here in Derry

Dunlop worthy winners although cushendall ran them very close and will regret the wife's that they had late on and also a couple of really good saves from Dunloy keeper and a hit post it could have been a different result but that being said duly had serious wife's in the first half themselves. Good game of hurling overall though.

Just a thought but I think the tv cameras would have been better off on the side of the pitch where the flags fly because nearly all the crowd were on the far side so the cameras would of had a good crowd in the backround and not just the loughgiel supporters who were the only supporters on that side is there a reason for this or what.

The .I or game was won by the better team although there  were 3 or 4 of the ballycastle lads who did not deserve to be on the losing side in particular the wee corner forward called Joe I think worked tirelessly all game. But what scenes on the side line we had the ballycastle manager throwing punches at a loughgiel mentor what sort of example is that to set for young men the mentors are supposed to be the adults for God's sake no coincidence that one of his players got sent off 2 minutes after that seeing the example set from the side line not the first time that mentor has been fighting on the side line at a juvenile game think he headbutted a .mentor at the field a few years ago maybe they should look into not letting people like that take juvenile teams

[Hoof Hearted]

Which ones regret the wife's

[Straighttalker76]

Wides

[Straighttalker76]

Wides

[Saffrongael]

Dunloy clearly the better team and but for some bad wides in first half would have been more comfortable, Dall very dogged as usual but just didn't have the scoring power in the second half

What's the craic with grown men and air horns, moronic

And smokebombs....

Anyway, Dunloy far better side over the 60mins. Shorty still a class act. Colm McDonald was very good also I thought, allowed the game to flow when possible. Could Cushendall of done anything different? I'm not so sure they could of.
