Milltown, I respect your opinion on the leagues and agree with a lot of what you have said. There was no ideal solution and I already explained our position.  I ackoweledge the defeciencies in Div 2 but that will sort itself out in one year.

What I don;t agree with is the fact that your previous post made represenations (the points I put in bold) about how my club, Cushendun, had conducted itself at the meeting on wednesday which were blatently incorrect and misleading.  I was my club delegate on wednesday night so thats why I tried to set the record straight.  I take issue at being misrepresented.

Thats nothing to do with paranoia, thats setting the record straight for the benefit of others who read this site.

now that you've started R Eimeid, you'll be on all the time.

I hope not Milltown, but it is addictive

i haven't started another rant, i just answered the question.

I don;t see any question in my post above? My comment to JC was that you have yet to acknowlegde that some of the points/accusations you made in your original post about Cushenduns conduct at the meeting were blatantly false. (those remarks about withdrawing our proposals, railroading another etc)
Maybe you will do so at some stage

if your club was dropped into the 3 div after winning the intermedate last year you would certainly be complaining. what other sporting leagues would have 5 teams relegated? your proposal was the one of the better ones, along with Lamhs, with 1a and 1b and top four from each group going into the top flight.

i take it Cushendun will be going for the senior hurling championship seeing they won last years inter. championship?

Agree on that one Milltown.  I was very opposed to any proposal that would have seen us in Div 3 and was quite vocal about that.   And yes, our proposal was one of the better ones but not one single club spoke in support of it at convention in Dec.  We will be putting it forward again next year by the way.

we won;t be entering the SHC, sure we are in a rebuilding phase and even if we weren;t we couldn;t compete at SHC.  We are a IHC club so would prefer to play there.   

We had our day at the SHC/Div 1 for over 10 years but fell short.

Is that you bubbles?

Also I think Guillem touched on it but none of the Down clubs have any say which is fair enough, when in Rome and all that, but it used to be the case that we did, back in the 80's methinks it was ended.
Just glad to get some decent club hurling

Indeed JC, it is I.  I only logged on to set the record straight as some of the stuff being said about my beloved club was just not correct.  Honest as the day is long. I see the other party has yet to acknowledge that fact- just headed on another rant.

you are right, the ard teams prob should have had a say; not that it would have made any difference this time around.  sure at least the galgets are all right.

['Cushendun dropped their proposal in favour of Ballycastles as this would leave them in div 2. big surprise there then!!!!!!!']

podge at no point in my post did i not think that we would be div one, i knew of a ballycastle proposal last week that would be past. this is the one that the NORTH ANTRIM AND A LONG WITH THE SOUTH WEST CLUBS VOTED FOR.  I SAID LIVE WITH IT!!!!!

we, belfast clubs were shafted by Ballycastle who proposed this proposal last wed, no clubs got to discuss it until last night. Cushendall second it along with Dunloy.

the CCC's proposal was defeated along with Lamhs, Cushendun dropped theirs in favour of Ballycastles as this would leave them in div 2. big surprise there then!!!!!!!

then they had the cheek to railroad another proposal of not changing it for 5 years. HA

another thing that they have changed from the original drafts was two up two down from the leagues. this again means that the top clubs just need to beat the team that is coming up. no real problem in that. but if they had to fight it out with another top flight team then it wil be a lot harder.

seems the north south divide will continue for another while. how will this ever change?

Milltown Row/Hurler/Naomh Gall (whatever pseudoname you are currently under), if you are proporting to report the facts of the event, I would respectively suggest you do so in an accurate manner and do not try to muddy the name of my club in the process.


'Cushendun dropped their proposal in favour of Ballycastles as this would leave them in div 2. big surprise there then!!!!!!!'

Cushenduns proposal was not withdrawn last night- it was voted on and dismissed.

I will also point out that that when the new options were finalised, the CCC's was 10 teams in Div 1 and Div 2.  There was little or no support for L Deargs proposal so we would have been in Div 2 regardless of what we voted for- so we did not 'vote for Ballycastles as this would leave us in Div 2'.  The CCC's option would have suited us fine after our own option was dismissed.

I don;t need to explain our clubs choice to you or others but for the record we voted for B'castles for a number of reasons such as the proven inability in the recent past to complete 18 games per season, the fact that St Pauls ( a Belfast club) did not deserve to go to the new Div 3, that Clougmills deserved their promotion etc.

You have pointed out some obvious weaknesses in this years Div 2 , many of which I agree with, but that will correct itself in a year.  We may well be in Div 3 next year and I will have no complaint about that as the marker has been set down (subject to next years circus)


'then they had the cheek to railroad another proposal of not changing it for 5 years. HA '


I for one do not recall any proposal to not change for 5 years (which would have been meaningless anyway as we have found out) and Cushendun most certainly did not 'railroad' it.



I am not about to enter into a pointless debate with you on this site of any other but I would ask you to show my club the respect it deserves by refraining from posting false allegations on this or any other site.
