Kids are inspired by sporting breakthroughs  on the field. This is well understood in the Glens. If you want something to be important, make it important.

Whilst Antrim have produced a big result in the Leinster championship, the players and those same kids know their best route to an AI Final is with their clubs.

Club hurling is still king in Antrim.

Could they use div 1 in the hurling league as some championship incentive. Most of the Munster teams are in it anyway. The league is like a mini munster championship. Get rid of this cup that provincial. Before they know it they will have very few games.

Rasharkin jumps out at me!

Used to happen in Dunloy but seems to have been nipped in the bud. Ridiculous that this was happening.

A lot of towns in the 6 counties.

Flags and marches in up to 70 - 100% -'nationalist' towns and villages.

Strange people.

Dogs pissing around 'their' territories....

I had a quick look at the ages of all the people who died on the road. 41% were under 30 years old. 30% of people were over age of 60. The other 29% were between 30-60 years old.

I be on that road often enough to see that speed and overtaking at bad time would account for a large portion of the deaths.

Its a poor road but that doesn't always excuse the excess speed or overtaking on blind corners.

Theres one climbing lane on it that certainly doesn't help if you were overtaking by the time you get past the car infront the climbing lane basically ends.

Venues for the Semis?
Meath v Kerry Portlaoise?
Tyrone v Connacht Breffni if Ros, Longford if Galway?

Portlaoise? Good god man have you any idea how far it is from places like Ballinskelligs to even Limerick!

Thurles at least I would hope and if that's not available, Nenagh or the Gaelic grounds.

from places like bettystown and ballinabrackey (both clubs have players on Meath team) portlaoise is same distance as from Kerry
