I think they did. The McDonagh final is on ai day so it won't be over before the all Ireland.  It's usually over a good bit before it.

Definitely makes sense. Poor Antrim hurlers lose out this year. As was said earlier - getting a crack at 1B next season is more productive. It's the big prize.

Is there ever any chance of a north Antrim team being started up again? it would be good for hurlers at junior/intermediate level to compete at senior?

Belfast has tried this a few times over the years, the problem is training and getting some unity between the clubs.

Timing would be difficult, but it works in other counties, like Kerry for instance, where the south/east/west Kerry teams compete with the senior teams
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

It didn't seem a hit at all but I really like the idea of it.

Kerry beat Carlow. Didn't think that would happen. We are through to the final unless we get hammered.

That was tried several years ago and the logistics proved to be difficult. However, I think that a South Antrim divisional team in the SHC would be a good idea. The travelling wouldn't be an issue and there are many good hurlers in Belfast who aren't all playing for senior clubs.

Some of these Meath boys are huge. Tough game this.

Bradley and Clarke look sharp so far but we need to stop getting blocked so much. Not getting as much space as we have in previous matches.

It would be nice if the ref would give Conor McCann a free at some point... Bradley on fire here.

Matty Donnelly is a great distributor of the ball. Always finds a good pass when he gets the ball.

Another good win here. Big scoring.

Commentary was golden, jeez from Bangkok to sandy row we have some support. He was getting scunnered near the end in fairness.

Bradley's sequence of points towards the end of the first half.....class. Its a real treat to see an Antrim team playing consistently well, the squad seems to have genuine depth about it. I hope to God we get to play a proper Div 1 next season, see how we get on against Wexford, Clare, Dublin and whoever. Can this squad make an impact in the Liam McCarthy?

There does seem to be a 'professional' environment about them. Love to see it.

Is there anybody else to come back into the Antrim squad or are they currently at full strength?

Hard for teams to bridge that gap in 1B on a consistent basis, year after year.  That group of Antrim, Carlow and Kerry etc. is very competitive - a great competition in itself.

But it would be good to see the 'big' teams in Ballycastle etc. next year.

McManus not listed today. Conal cunning too.
