Not a chance is anyone making that game having been at Cloughmills.

Think you are really over egging it... Cost of living and so on people will go to 'A' match they they are really interested in and catch the results of the other game .. If you miss 5 minutes of a game, you won't lose out.

Not that it matters but its 10 mins half time 

Not at all. I'd love to get to as many hurling matches this weekend as possible. 4 games would cost you half the price of a night out.

Is your watch working again?

 

You're missing the point. Give us enough time to get to as many games as possible. Maximise attendance at games and maximise revenue generated. It's straightforward stuff. You might only want to go to one game, I don't.  Each to their own.

I make it three being possible:

●1 Friday Night
●1 Saturday
●1 Sunday

Don't think 2 is a possibility on Saturday.

I think people would squeeze in as many games as possible. £30 weekend pass would be appealing. I take your point, 6 games is overkill. But genuine hurling fans would love to see more of Saturday's games. It's far from ideal.

Junior semi Friday night.

Junior semi Saturday morning.

Intermediate semi Saturday afternoon.

Intermediate semi Saturday evening.

Senior semi Sunday lunchtime.

Senior semi Sunday late afternoon.



I cannot fathom why there is not more logical planning that would facilitate fans getting to all 6 semi-finals next weekend.

Perhaps even a weekend pass??

Infuriating given there are so few genuinely competitive and meaningful games in the club calendar.

4.30pm would let everyone get to both without rushing.

Should be able to get to both games without a mad rush.. 50 mins to Dunloy on a Sunday afternoon

Game over (barring extra time lol) 2.20pm  get to your car by 2.30 and on the road to Dunloy and be there at 3.30 is you are stuck in 4th gear

Would probably head along the Falls and enter Westlink at Divis area though, Westlink can be a curse on a Sunday that direction

The hold up at the bottom of the Whiterock will be the problem. Hopefully half the cars head up the Whiterock and down the Springfield.

Will be tight trying to get to both

Loughgiel just getting past Ballycastle was a warning sign, they were really poor today I thought. Totally aimless

Was a shambles. Completely void of an effective game plan and poor players in important positions. Don't know where they go from here. St John's are no great shakes either, not sure who'll win that tie.

We went 7 points up in the first half, the tackling, aggression and taking our opportunities really put Tir na Og on the back foot

Second half we seem to be still in the changing rooms (though we stayed on pitch) or had lost our intensity, that said Tir na Og came out a different team, we still should have held on and had we scored our penalty I think the momentum would have shifted.

Fair play to them, a game of two half's and a very entertaining fair

Sets it up beautifully with Cushendun's surprise defeat at Feystown this evening.

Carey have been given a lifeline. They play in Cushendun on the final day. Winner takes all.

Sarsfields v Glenariffe, the same. Winner takes all.

Them and glenariffe be interesting now. You'd imagine creggan and cushendun will be through but other places up for grabs. It is two through not three isn't it?

Three senior games on live at the weekend. They should only put two through to make it more interesting.

Yes, if Sarsfields and Creggan win their next game, which they should then that will be proper Championship hurling. A quarter final effectively.

The other group potentially has 3 teams now fighting for that 2nd spot. If Randalstown lose their next game then it too is wide open.

Two through from 5 in intermediate. It's been super. Senior Championship has been a joke. County Board taking the piss with 3 through from 4. The games have had no atmosphere as they mean so little. There are more intense training sessions going on within clubs. The structure has done nothing to develop high standards of hurling. Needs tweeking next season.

Could cost Sarsfields a semi-final place. Good oul Intermediate Hurling Championship. More entertaining than the senior.

Thanks for information, good to know.

That's worrying for all concerned. Player or manager's actions are accountable to the referee and then the control's committee. If there are no assessors who do a club turn to when there is a serious concern over a referee appointment?
