Glenariffe have a ladies football team anyway so not as averse to the big ball plus various county teams seem to have been at that kilmore house.

Funny set of finals yesterday. I think we'd have bother with Sligo but on the flip side wouldn't be convinced there'd be much between us and Fermanagh.

I'm not sure they will be invited back anytime soon from what I have heard

I'd love to know draft positions ahead of time, if that's at all possible

30 mins before the draft starts according to Yahoo

I'm going through "13 minutes to the moon" again.

It's a brilliant podcast on the Apollo missions from the BBC.

Glenariffe played Carey a couple of weeks ago with 15 players and it was as big a gather up as I have ever seen for our club, a player had to come out of retirement to play, when another player (42 year old) got hurt a member of the management team had to come on for the last 10 mins

Read that back.... His chances of winning ANOTHER 40 million are zero on PGA tour... how many kids is he supporting or setting up? Daft
when he was cut on Friday on pga tour did they pay him much ? So if a company offered you
more money for less work and your money was guaranteed no matter what position you end up in and you can also make bonuses you would turn it down ? talk about daft

There doesent seem to be indefinite guaranteed starts for the LIV players, that aren't the blue chip players. They could be put on their lug from LIV and then ostracised from the mainstream tours when they try to come back

Glenariffe certainly not "shafted", we won our two "easy" games against Armoy & GNM & drew the 3 tougher games. Now unfortunate they were all away and Carey's were at home but that's the way it goes. And our first draw against St Galls should have been a defeat as the ref didn't keep the score correctly, he had us up by a point at HT when it was St Galls up by a point. Carey best team and got better as the year went on.

There are wee pockets of families coming through that clubs that size need.(same in most rural clubs tbf)

As long as everyone is getting a chance to play at those ages I would be relaxed enough about it

They're strong at U15 and Minor due to players coming in to their starting 15 from 3 other nearby clubs. The rest of their teams are average and below. Whether coincidental or not, these teams are made up exclusively of Oisins players.

Sometimes you just get a couple of very good cycles, very few clubs are strong at every age group. Especially not a parish the size of Glenariffe. Who know those u-7s & u-9s might not be write offs just yet.........

It's the new reality, if you speak against the official line you get shut down. We should all know that by now lol.

We're the new North Korea  :D

Poor show if all deleted.

Intermediate hurling looks interesting alright. I don't think cushendun will be beat by sarsfields though stranger things have happened. Is that eunan McKillop who used to play for cushendall playing for them?

Glenariff are really starting to make an impression at underage level but probably a bit too soon for senior level.

Not at all. They've 2 good teams  and it's nothing to do with structures or coaching. They've 'borrowed' a few players from other clubs at those age groups. U7, U9, U11, U13 ....they're poor.

Ah come on now that's verging on being mean spirited  :D

The u-15 team I would say has 12/13 of the starting 15 born and bred Glenariffe, and have won the 1st Div Antrim Feile for the first time in the clubs history. The u-17 team would be 10 Glenariffe & 5 "others" I would say, the others from Cdun & Glenarm don't have underage teams so what do you propose they do, retire ? So without the blow ins I would say those two "good teams" at u-15 & u-17 would be very competitive at Div 1 in both grades. That has everything to do with coaching and structures, considering we were struggling to field at some underage grades not a million years ago.

The right people are doing the right jobs when it comes to coaching.

You are right about the u-7s though, they would need to get their finger out.

So far that's a pretty good set of predictions. Impressive getting the draw right. Still some results I don't see on intermediate.

Yeah the draw is some call, by all accounts a fair result.

Any chance of a scoreboard ?  ;)
