Some ugly minds outs there. I thought being a Gael instilled a bit of manners into a boy.


It's always been my belief that this is one club where manners and respect are not as important as winning and bravado when rearing teams. It's only my opinion but from first hand experience that's what I have witnessed.

Oh dear. Drink, disappointment, a serious lack of class and 04:40 snapchats are a very bad combination.
Some Johnnies boys will be nursing sore heads today. They should hang them in shame also.

Just saw the video .....disgusting behaviour

What happened?

I don't even want to talk about the contents of the song being sung. Absolute disgusting behaviour from a couple of low lives!!

Multi media highlights everything

Social Media is a dangerous tool.

Yeah, so glad it wasn't a feature when I was young, bad enough making a dick of yourself on here ;D

There is making a dick of yourself on here and then there is this. Absolute scumbags.





Disgusting. Anyone involved should have a ban from the GAA. Lowest of the low and would make the vile soccer chants look innocent. Sad day when our own GAA people behave like this

Probably just that thing that when a McCooey is talking to you, you automatically assume he is trying to hoodwink you.

best now that they have a good derry man on the job...

why all the claptrap now then; new evidence shows an man attacking Matthew, he defends himself, case over for antrim.

PS Stevie G. only thought the DJ was going to hit him when he acted in self defence...

....Vindicate the saffron 1 now....

So can we expect a hefty ban for the man attacking matthew as he owned up to feck all during the whole process and Im sure at some stage of the "who done it" he would have been asked to identify the grainy picture and to maybe also cast his mind back to who supposedly thumped him (assuming he got gubbed)

Can't believe what I was told about what happened to one of our senior footballers thank god for wee joe Edwards if this is true I despair can you confirm country bumpkin
Can indeed confirm that one of our senior footballers was suspended on suspect vt evidence which was to rule him out of ulster championship until management and J E made successful appeal, and the tale is common knowledge within the ranks................another OG for the SV.......

too much code for M E. V T  and J E with O G and S V FS CB at least decode some of it for M E

With the new system in place whereby the CR winners enter the AI qualifiers, we could find ourselves in the Liam McCarthy competition this year...no shortage of games for the hurlers with league, Ulster c'ship, CR Cup and potentially AI series.

Not wanting to sound too negative but I hope this doesn't result in a shortage of club games for a few of the best months of the year for hurling. Think if there is a county fixture overload then the CB and clubs affected should just bite the bullet so to speak and plough on with the club scene.

Well done to all involved on the promotion.

I think we should be looking at Wexford over the next year or so and show what progress can be made when a group fully commits to a philosophy.

Antrim were on a par with Wexford in recent years, slightly behind to be fair but there or there abouts. So I think great encouragement can be taken from this type of situation as a template.

+1

Was thinking the same thing myself Nag
We beat them ( wexford ) at u21 fair and square
Lee Chin, Connor Mc Donald and guiney where all on the pitch that day and they where prolific In the beating of Kilkenny yesterday
If we applied ourselves we could be doing better
I just wish Ryan mc ambridge, Saul , Connolly  would commit
Young murphy and Rooney are two big finds this year
Plenty of young players coming through as well, Coby and Molloy, eamon smith from my club
Smith already has the physical attributes
Imm Sure there is players from Belfast to and the rest of N Antrim

Our county current team are very honest and have been  knocking their pans in since last year and I hope they can get a christy ring

Biggest question and joke of all is how are Gort na Mona, St Pauls and Cushendun junior. Farce.

Couldn't agree more, I was harping on about this a few years ago but was just banging my head against a brick wall. Being from what I perceive to be a 'real' Junior club it is more than frustrating watching Team after Team make the voluntary drop in grade to try and get a crack at an All Ireland. I haven't heard how St Pauls Motion went in regards getting promoted back into Intermediate championship??? or did they not appeal that, happy enough to mix it with the weak clubs with an all Ireland at stake but just not for the league.

That is the grey area for me. What if a club who are perceived to be an intermediate club or senior club drop down a championship as players have retired or other reasons, is that wrong? I get what you're saying and agree but clubs have gotten bad press and accusations thrown at them in the past when other clubs didn't know the story within the club at that time.

What is a "real" junior club? I can't speak for GNM or St Pauls,but you can rest assured that Cushendun have not volunteraly made the drop to junior hurling.If anyone had seen us over the past 3/4 years they would know that that is the level we are at.Gone are the days where we held our own in Div 1(15 years) and played senior championship.Due to limited numbers,over the past few years,we have regularly had to call on the boys who played senior hurling 20 years ago to make up a team!


This is my point, why then want into a league that is not the Level you are at but not the same in Championship. If you want on pit yourselves against Sarsfields, Tir Na Og & St Endas or whoever else in the league then why stop there? Why happy enough to play championship against the teams you feel your too good to Share a league with? After all it wouldnt have taken a motion for any of these clubs to move up a grade in championship as you can choose to play up in championship.. All the teams that whinged to be moved up in the league should be moved up a grade in Championship (My opinion) otherwise its a farce.

Wee Joe carrys the room. Div 3 now changed to 17 team league based on St.Pauls proud history. All division 1 teams abstained on the vote bar 1. Very principled stance. What a load of balls. The most competitive league in the county in 2016 made a nonsense off.

I had a feeling something like this would happen as I couldn't see some of the teams in Div 4 wanting to take their medicine and play in the league they were in. This is the reason why we(St Agnes) decided early on to go and play South Antrim this year. I had predicted either a 12 team div 3 meaning a 5 team Div 4 with only a handful of fixtures or the 17 team option (which has happened) and a shit load of tankings for the bottom 4 or 5 teams. For a while it looked like I was wrong and the league looked decent but unfortunately in the end we were proved right and the likes of Loch Mor (and could have been Aggies/Davitts etc) are going to have to play Sarsfields/St Endas/Creegan........... Shaft the minnions to suit a few

I heard St Paul's reason, though I can't believe it to be honest...

Be sorted tomorrow night

I've seen the proposal from St Johns for tonight's meeting. Going back to 10 team leagues for div 1 & 2 with everyone else in div 3.

What about the players who have booked holidays based on the current fixture schedule (8 team leagues). Now we potentially will be adding in an extra 4 games. Going to be some hassle and as usual its the players that will suffer.

Here is the body of the letter from St.Pauls which has more chance of going to a vote imo, wee J will be there to quote chapter and verse no doubt. The annoying thing is that clubs who this in no way affects will have a vote on this.
Just leave it alone. We all are where we are on merit, no special treatment.
If theres any sense in the room all of this will be thrown out and we get on with it as is.






A Chairde,


RE:  REVIEW OF ALL COUNTY DIVISION 3 AND 4 HURLING LEAGUE 2017

Further to my previous correspondence on the above matter, I am writing formally to ask that the request to include St Paul's Senior Hurling Team in the Division 3 All County Hurling League for 2017 be placed on the Clár at the next County Committee meeting on Monday 13 March 2017.

As stated previously, all we are looking for is fair and equal treatment. 

On the basis of the above, St Paul's GAC would propose either of the following solutions:

(a)   That a decision is made to amalgamate the Division 3 and Division 4 Hurling Leagues for 2017 in a one round 17 team league (St Paul's GAC Preferred Option)

(b)   That a decision is made to include both Lamh Dhearg and St Paul's Senior Hurling Teams in the Division 3 Hurling League for 2017 in a one round 11 team League with a half way split.

I am aware that a number of other clubs within the County would be very supportive of St Paul's position as it would allow all teams to play at an appropriate level and ensure that the many young talented players in all teams are given the opportunity to develop and improve (e.g. Stephen Rooney, Donal Nugent, Colm McLarnon, Patrick Doyle etc).

I appreciate that CCC is keen to finalise fixtures for club secretaries, but I believe that they have the time to act after County Committee make their decision.

I look forward to the Club getting the opportunity to present its position on the matter on Monday evening.


Is Mise Le Meas


Secretary                         

Load of balls at this stage, tough luck, if your in Division 2 this year and you want to be in it next year then you have to win enough games.... its as simple as that. for too many years this has been going on and to be honest it is the main reason why the leagues become a shambles. people talk about wanting a more meaningful league and even using league positions as championship seeding's etc. and these are all good points but until we stop restructuring the leagues every year then its all pointless because until promotion and relegation mean such then what's the point?

I would say the only banana skins for Sarsfields and Glenravel will be complacency.

Too good for D3, not good enough for D2.
If only there was a division in between for them

In fact could probably extend that to include Ardoyne, Randalstown, Antrim and Rasharkin and you would have a nice competitive wee group.

What about Davitts, think they would fit into that bracket, then the leagues would be as they were. dropping St T's, A/grove, A/Gallon and St P'S down to Div 2. but in a years time a few clubs will find this doesn't suit them and bam the leagues will have to change again. There will be mis- matches in every league in every county, some greater than others. as long as their aren't too many of them then we should just leave things for a few years and let things settle in for once. For the majority of teams things will level out Bar a few.

Following a succesful first outing v DCU last week Kilkenny take on Antrim in Round 2 of the Bord na Mona Walsh Cup in Abbottstown next Sunday at 2pm. Eddie Brennan's under 21's lined out against DCU but this weekend will see the senior squad return under Brian Cody and his selectors

Seen this on Kilkenny website, hope we do well but at this stage of the season I think a game against the u-21's would have benefited us more

Right lads, you've been in the gym 3 times a week for 3 years. You spent January to March on the track and running up mountains. You've been off the drink since April. Today lads, today it's the 1st of July and all that hard work is about to pay off. Today we meet our old rivals the Cross-Community Lionesses in 9-a-side no contact football. It doesn't matter whether we win or lose. Lads, It's all about days like this. You will remember this day forever.


Would you pair ever wise to f**k up?

But that day can be September 1st, and through July and August everyone can fight for their place during the (9-a-side no contact football) as you put it. I see nothing wrong with it.  you sound like Rory's Stories ffs. Take a day off

Each county should organise a Summer Fun League (the SFL???) for the non-county players.  Play it Thursday night or Friday night.  A game every week with a two week shutdown for holiday, say the first two week of August.  Start June 1, end Sept 1 is three full months.  10 games.

Made for player who just want to play a game with their lifelong friends and clubmates without the need for dieticians or S&C coaches.  Of course, a few players on every team will take it very seriously in prep for September/October full club fare, but that is fine too.  You would have the soccer and rugby lads returning for the summer and, who knows, maybe even staying for the county championship.

Win/Win?

Slightly similar to this I have said for a while that League fixtures should be played in the 4 months March - June that will be both with and without county players. July and August see a lot of Holidays so instead of scrubbing this period or guilting amateurs into not taking a family holiday, county boards or divisional county boards can organise a reduced numbers if needed Summer league. have around 7 teams in each division and get around 6 fixtures in Hurling and football and if the league needs to be 11 aside or 13 aside so be it. September/October is then set for Championship. half the clubs in the country only get one round anyway, the weather is still relatively good and by 3 week in October County championships will be over with exception of Counties in AI Final. 8 Month season for club player except for those unlucky enough to win a county title.
