Antrim Hurling

[SaffronSports]

It seems some media are starting to pick up on the story. Irish News half covered it and Balls.ie mentioned it.

Five hurlers opting out next year    Two Elliots, Maskey, O'Neill and I assume the fifth is McManus which was obviously a known. That's not good.

If it was the men's team the gpa would be all over this. Surely someone will overturn this - #DowdsOrNoOne is the message to kit the team 

Anyhow what do us SW men know about Camogie -

Hearing all 5 away to help with the new camogie management? Any truth ?

Embarassing for Antrim camogie, embarassing for the new management team, pretty spineless.

This can't be allowed to blow over.

Not sure what can be done unless the players refuse to play and I don't know if there's a united front on that. Definitely loads of support from the players online but I'm sure there are players at the same clubs or graduates from that intermediate side who may be the side of the new management. I feel like the county board need to make a statement explaining what happened but I'd be massively surprised if they do.

So many talented young girls playing for the county and for a group of dictators who think they can't be touched.

Player  power will defeat the board on this one if they fight.

Molloy the fifth, not McManus as he was already gone. They just taking a break? Travelling? A shame but has been a long few seasons for them, particularly the Dunloy ones.

[imtommygunn]

Forgot him. He'd be the biggest loss too.

It's always the same. Progress, good progress, Antrim haven't operated at this level for years.

It's actaully disgusting, two total weasels and of course a board not fit for purpose who facilitated it all.

Where were the two weasels when the camogs were going nowhere at intermediate level?

[paddyjohn]

That team should be forced to step down from  the Camogie job. All smells vary bad indeed. The board should walk.

But the chairman and the manager are cousins and chief sponsors of the team so chances of that happening are very slim.

Great to see so many interested posters worried about Antrim Camogie. It must be well supported and plenty of people involved helping out

Why always so condescending to posters discussing local gaa issues on a local gaa discussion board?

And yes I do support Camogie and would have attended more county Camogie matches than I've attended county matches in any other code over the last few years. Also helped at my local club until commitments changed and even helped briefly at county level when asked to help cover when someone was unavailable for a time.

You can take it as being condescending or you can take it that I'm surprised that it's that well supported outside of parents due to their kids playing...

If people are interested in taking teams that's a good thing too?

Whatever the process has or not been used that's down to the committee that's in place, someone was asking them to step down! Who's going to step up?

Calling people weasels, like come one

TBF Duck McFadden could help the whole thing out. Very good addition
