 Cushendall seniors are getting a run out on Saturday then. lets up we get a win

[Sweeper 123]

Is that sour grapes - old timer;

I think this team looks very well balanced and should put in a good shift - really fancy a win;

[old timers]

not at all Sweeper - just stating the obvious and I really do hope your prediction is right and we get the campaign off to a winning start for the sake of Antrim hurling not just Cushendall -    lets hope to god Sambo (sorry the management committee) get it right for this campaign regardless of how well we play.  Playing well and getting beat just isnt enough at this stage or at any stage really. IMO

I have to agree playing well was the hope and expectation for the league this year, winning games is the hope and expectation for championship.

Id imagine that nigel elliot and eoin campbell will switch?? I dont think that nigel is a good enough in the tackle out around the middle much better suited to wing forward

[maxpower]

Nigel Elliot is quite possibly the best in Antrim at breaking the tackle, over the last few years he has added some real power to his game. Much more suited to breaking the line from deep.  Much more effective from half forwards/midfield than stuck in the inside forward line.

Campbell no doubt will get the sweeper role.  I'd expect McManus & Armstrong to find themselves in a two man full forward line for large parts.

There's max - a blast from the past! You been in Maghaberry?

[old timers]

No Conor McCann in starting 15. For me that's a big surprise is he injured?

[old timers]

Well done lads   Well worth the trip. Some great scores and delighted to see Mccann coming off the bench. Keep it going

[seafoid]

Great result with Laois losing to Westmeath as well

[ciaran1988]

Great result from the lads, wasn't able to make it due to work commitments but after a bad start the lads must have really knuckled down and great to see them put up a big total.

[manfromdelmonte]

Any club fancy coming down to Westmeath on June 2nd and bring an u14 and/or u12 team to play a game?

[ciaran1988]

Massive game on Saturday and one that will be far tougher than last weeks victory over Meath. Anyone know if our panel picked up any knocks or injury doubts for this game

[old timers]

Any team news for the weekend.  Is Graffin back yet?
