Antrim Hurling

[saffman]

Reserve Hurling Cup Final
Ruairi Og v Ballycran at Ballycastle on Fri 6th at 8pm. Down lads may book into AirBnB...

thats a joke. no way is that fair venue or time for a match for a team in co down

Are there many floodlit venues in Antrim capable of holding a senior hurling game?

Ballycastle, Ahoghill, Cargin possibly, Randalstown have lights but I don't know if they can play hurling under them.

Friday night games at this time of the year in crucial games is just stupid scheduling. Hurling under the floodlights at the above venues is just about ok but should we be going down that route for cship games. Lads training from late last year, gearing up for that one big cship game and then its on a Friday night at 6:45pm. What are we doing to ourselves??

Couldn't agree more, Most players/managers will be at the pitch an hour beforehand therefore county are essentially giving players 45 mins to get home from work, have their dinner then travel to X pitch. Anyone will tell you it simply doesnt add up

Haven't saw anything to suggest otherwise.

Carey Armoy played at 3. Big enough win for Carey. All games to script thus far. St endas apparently got it tight enough against creggan.

Sambo Junior the Pint Puller is back if that's any use to you

[paddyjohn]

Both Sambo juniors are back and so are Karl McKeegan, Natty & Sean Delargy. Waiting on Sambo and Leonard McKeegan to reappear...

Headed to cushendall last night for the match - as a nuetural was disappointed.  Wasn't a great match to be honest and the whistle blowing referee didn't let the game flow at all.  Especially in the first half.   The match never got going in my opinion. But Dall deserved the win.  What was more obvious was if the Dall don't have McManus it would be a different story. He played well and took some lovely scores, but his running towards the ref and arguing when he didn't agree with him wasn't nice to see.  I know the ref wasn't great but still.  Iv seen this a few times with him this year. Think With his profile he should know better. iMO

If players don't give away frees then the ref hasn't a need to blow. Both team were guilty of stupid things and the ref rightly punished them.
