Antrim Hurling

Slaughtneil free to concentrate on the hurling now..

When do they play the Dunlodians and has Horse worked out a way round their packed defence?

Dunloy firstly have to match their physicality, S'neil have really good stick men also and strong in the tackle, this will be a very good game, not sure how it will pan out but hopefully Dunloy have the ability to get over the line.

The only way to get past a packed defence is to score from distance, breaking the lines against this team means losing the ball, accuracy from 50 meters will force a change in S'neil and they may have to change, which will leave pockets of space for the speed merchants up front to exploit.

Lat time in the All Ireland semi S'neil should have beaten Ballyhale in Newry. It would not have been a shock either

Game planned for 12th December with final down for 9th January but I believe Ulster GAA are meeting to bring games forward now that there is no clash with football for Slaughtneil.

Where would game likely to be held? Semi final is usually on a home/away basis and Dunloy have home advantage this time. There was 6000 landed to Owenbeg last time they played in semi final.

Cormac O'Doherty picked up a shoulder injury in hurling final and missed the football semi and final. Would be a big miss for Slaughtneil if he wasn't able to make it.

That would suggest Corrigan Park which might suit SN as it's a tight enough pitch, with room for the forwards at a premium..

O'Doherty would indeed be a big loss for them

Heard its in Armagh.

Heard its in Armagh.

That's a long aul drive for both teams, and supporters

Refused to give ball to Karl mckaigue to work out and up the lines

That makes lots of sense doesn't it. Crazy!

I had heard at the Johnnies/Dunloy game that Sneil and Dunloy been watching each other all season, love the confidence.

Think sneil just too much, be great to see Dunloy win. No football to contend with for the Derry boys will be massive help.

Sunday 12th December at The Athletic Grounds (ground tbc).

any one got any idea what the delay is for?

Every other year it was a panicking match to get Ulster played and now this year there is a long gap between?

I don't think any championship should be held up because of another code, if that is the reason.

I get where you're coming from but it would have been foolish of the Ulster Council not to have contingencies in place like they have if Dunloy footballers won the Antrim intermediate football championship.. 

but yes, first instinct is to push the hurling out to suit football.

Couple of the Dunloy management at the Derry Football Final on Sunday.

Pain in the hole.

The Athletic Grounds wouldnt be in the best of shape this time of year. Celtic Park is a great surface and would suit a championship hurling match at this time of year.

Have heard that Dunloy would be up for playing in Celtic Park but not Owenbeg for some reason. One or two of the Dunloy lads might be able to confirm / deny.

Unless the drainage in Owenbeg has had a bit of work on it, it can't be in much nick itself...

Dunloy looking as dry a sod as possible I'd have thought.

Going by the look of Celtic park for the football final on Sunday didnt look like the greatest option for a hurling game.
