Arron Graffin definitely not be playing as he is in the states

Anyone else here think we have a great chance of winning the Joe McDonagh cup. We played at higher level in the league bar all the sides bar Laois who we really should have beaten in the relegation play off. We have 3 home games versus Carlow Laois and Kerry and with players back from injury like Ciaran Clarke who weren't able to take part in much league action. I believe we can do it

Boylesports have betting up for the club championship

Cushendall   11/8
Loughgiel     6/4
Dunloy.        9/2
Ballycastle   13/2
Rossa          25/1
Sarsfield.     33/1
St Johns      50/1

Surprised to see Dunloy at such a big price and Ballycastle are definitely too short

Anyone a link to the league fixtures county website showing last years leagues and fixtures

Limerick travelling up to Antrim on the Saturday with only a panel of 23 players 3 of which are goalkeepers for Sunday's game. I'm sure they will still have a decent 15 starting minus the UL and NaP players as they will be looking a big winner takes promotion clash with Galway the following week but again I feel we are being massively under rated as some bookies have a handicap of 11 points.
Surely our lads will be well up for this after a disappointing result on Saturday past and will make a good close game out of this and deliver another positive performance like the ones against Galway and Dublin. Saffrons Abú

The Dublin team named is a lot stronger than the team that lined out against Offaly. Another battling display from our lads and make a right good game of it will do for me. Obviously any postitive result  for the saffrons will be a plus

Great performance from the lads. Can hold their heads up high and go into the Dublin game full of confidence

Bookmakers have use as minus 23 underdogs this weekend vs Galway surely we won't get a hammering like that. Galway only just back from a team holiday with not much match practice and will surely name a experimental side. I would be really disappointed if the lads came back home beat my 20 odd points

Any word on our panel for the Walsh Cup, away to Meath on Saturday. Be good to kick start the new season with a strong side out and get the win under our belts

Tier 2 Hurling Championship fixtures announced today. Antrim fixtures are as follows

1. An Mhí v Aontroim
2. Aontroim v Ceatharlach
3. Aontroim v Laois
4. An Iarmhí v Aontroim
5. Aontroim v Ciarraí

Not a bad draw for us at all

Lamh Dhearg being rated a 7/2 chance against Cavan Gaels on Sunday, surely this price is a joke club level in Antrim would be on a par if not stronger than club level in Cavan, if St Galls or Cargin had won Antrim they wouldn't have been going in 7/2 underdogs. I'm not saying Lamb Dhearg will win but they are a hell of a lot better than the prices the bookies are giving.

Why are London at home in every game?

It's a shame we didn't draw a home tie with Galway, would have helped massively to promote hurling up here having the All Ireland Champions visit. As it is we have two good home games to look forward to with a new look Dublin side who maybe will have Diarmuid Connelly in the panel and a good young Limerick side with plenty of All Ireland U21 winners in the ranks.

Put away games with Laois and Offaly will be massive in trying to maintain our position in 1B

Paddy Power have Sarsfields priced up at 1/2 against Lavey who are 7/4. Surely far too short a price. I actually thought Lavey would have been slight favourites
