Antrim Hurling

[imtommygunn]

Tough games for all 3 i think. Dunloy will be better hurlers than slaughtneil but slaughtneil much more physical and at this time of year it might count. Think dunloy can sneak it though.

Don't know enough about sarsfields but lavey won't be easy with their history. Surprised to see them at intermediate but don't follow derry hurling that closely.kevin mckernan seems to be a big player for sarsfields.

Gorts struggled and if missing a player could be tough.

Weekend Hurling

Gort Na Mona may rue not finishing the job 1st time out but hopefully get over the line

Sarsfields are as good an intermediate team in the province and should overcome Lavey

Slaughtneil will pose the same threat physically as Cushendall did in our county final. On that occasion that wasn't enough as the pace we played at was too much for Cushendall to live with. Granted Slaughtneil have 4/5 very good hurlers but we have many more than that, this year more so than previous years. With any luck we will have a few days of decent weather to get the surface as quick as possible and like last time I predict Dunloy to win but it will be a battle there is no doubting that but our superior hurling skills will be the difference on the day

Thats the thing, win the battle and the skill will surface to the top and Dunloy should convert more than S'niel, though Ive been very impressed with S'Neil last season and wrote them off a couple of times... for most on that Dunloy team its a new experience at this level so hopefully they will be grounded by that management set up in Dunloy

Paddy Power have Sarsfields priced up at 1/2 against Lavey who are 7/4. Surely far too short a price. I actually thought Lavey would have been slight favourites

There was a pitch inspection this morning at 10am and the Dunloy v Slaughtneil game goes ahead as planned at half2 Sunday. Looking forward to this

I would say at this stage most pitches are going to be roughly the same kind of shape so shouldnt have too big a bearing on the result.

James Clarke on the whistle.

He refereed two games in the Down Senior hurling championship both involving us and I thought he was fine all in. Will let it go a bit if both teams allow and will call out the dirt too.

Sarsfields and Dunloy down at halftime

Both beat at ft

Hirty Darry anyone that knows anything about hurling knows that cushendall will win.. You nobody

Scoreline flattered cushendall was at least a 10 point game they were brutal could not deal with the pace we played at second half. See them pups they didn't just bark they bit too and that the start of the domination for the next 10 years

And you can believe that

few more academy sessions needed before world domination kicks off??

Paddies beat by 2 and a man sent off. They'll be disappointed.
