Games won and lost in the last 10... if you're not up for driving on in that part of the game when its there for the taking then don't expect to come out the right side when your up against top opposition. We went 5 up and went to sleep. Overall Loughgiel the much more nuanced team who I'd say easy found their men with 30+ yard passes to the men inside 10 times more than we did. It takes the man inside to move for the ball (movement everywhere) and the man with the ball to know those type of moves are being made and then be able to deliver the right kind of ball to give his team mate the ball winning advantage. At the minute we are playing too may 50/50 balls to our forwards when is great when you get the right breaks but I think we have to work far harder to get our scores because the hard work isn't being done before the ball is delivered.

I actually thought our ball distribution was poor last night. Too many times we were guilty of just hitting the ball aimlessly up field and not taking that extra second to pick out a pass. The 2 times the Dunloy full back line switched off we capitalised (which from our point of view was good to see). Those 2 incidents aside and Dunloy would have been good value for a victory.  As someone said earlier plenty for both tems to work on.

I'll never get tired of looking at that photo 

Excellent coverage of Loughgiel's AI semi final on the official Antrim GAA site. Well done lads.

Loughgiel 3-12 Dublin 3-09. great performance against a strong Dublin team.

On another note, Neil McManus Antrim captain with Eddie mccloskey vice captain.

Delighted for him. A real team player and a good sport.

Have you seen much of Loughrea MR2?

Can anyone find the odds for the All Ireland club championship?

Loughgiel 10/3favs
Ballyhale 7/2
Thurles 7/1
De la salle 7/1
Oulart 12/1

. 

So somebody made up that he was spat on?

An even bigger WTF?

Yeah but its ok, he's young and from Dunloy. 

Apologies in writing from each of you.  I'll see to it that they are hand delivered to skinner.  My man of the match and the first man i'd have beside me if I was going in to battle. An absolute disgrace that some of you have hung drawn and quartered him on here on the back of a lie. Shame on you.

Lg 2-18 Dny 1-12

I'd heard he was also to get the Co Final and deservedly so IMO. Does his AI appointment change this? 

A typical response from you jj.

Loughgiel 4 up at half time. Both teams at full strength afaik.

All square in cushendall 1-5 each.

Should the goal have been disallowed JC? I wasnt at it so cant comment although I did hear that the best team won.

So anything other than our own league and championship is a friendly game and not worth talking about? maybe thats where we're going wrong in this county! Nothing too friendly about the final against Coolderry by the way.
