A serious effort by the neighbours,worked like dogs all day and put the body on the line.Sneil looked poor and as someone said above stick work was awful at times.Take nothing away from the Victors. Now it's up to everyone to catch Dunloy

Going to be difficult but anything can happen.

Hoping for a improved performance from the last meeting, that's all you can ask for, S'niel have raised the bar in Ulster club hurling. Up to the rest to lift it

I think it will be tighter the year
it won't and imo the reason why will be lack of ball winners.

Its not like the sleeping giant to have a pop at Dunloy lol!!

Yeah I'd say it will be tough, but Dunloy do have good fielders of the ball its whether they have a someone stuck up their backside for 60 plus minutes will determine if they come out of the other side, Cushendall tried their best to be that physical with them and it nearly worked, but the pace and fitness came through, hopefully the weather and pitch will be good to give us all the game we are looking forward to
Jesus that's not a pop lol.Just don't see them having the ball winners, they do have some nice wee forwards, Nigel all year I said would make a difference and I don't think he struck leather in the county final so he's a performance in him.I thought Portaferry were terrible and Sneil untested so hopefully Dunloy gives them a rattle! I just can't see it.

I'd expect Clooney to be a bit strong for the Fontenoys, but not by much as the fontenoys did well in the transfer window last winter.

Farcical situation down there on this one.

What exactly happened?

The new manager brought his two sons with him.
a ballbag

A word for Kevin Parke also, let it go and wasn't the centre of attention.
I honestly thought he was just ok,a lot of the time these things even themselves out, massive penalty shout against young lad with yellow helmet in first half missed, dragged down inside by his helmet, KP right there and waved play on!

Was a great final for the neutral,Cdall management team got tactics bang on and probably got the most they could have out of the team,ultimately dunloy came by scores easier.Don't think Dunloy got near Cdall goal other than at the end when Cdall had went for broke. I don't see yesterday's performance bothering Slaughneil tbh, will take a whole lot more from a dunloy.

Dunloy look razor sharp, precisely not what a sluggish Cushendall would want to be facing. Only looks like one outcome.

Loughgiel are rebuilding and deserve credit for blooding the youngsters this past 2 seasons. With some serious underage talent they'll be back challenging Dunloy in a few years. Dunloy going nowhere for the foreseeable. Multi-talented group of players they have.

Haven't seen Sambo near a Cushendall juvenile team in years. Suddenly there's a minor final and low and behold ....people see through that nonsense.

As far as I know he's been coaching that team all year.

Very hard on poor Sambo folks.
He hasn't,but whatever,no odds

Can't believe there are no concessions at matches and then the way they space out matches to avoid double headers. Poor show.

Which goal(s) in the senior out of interest Podge?
Christy's goal. Maybe it was just bad goalkeeping but in defence of the keepers, the bounce off the sod and the bounce off the artificial squares are totally different .
bad goal keeping is what it was

What about Graffin? Haven't saw him figure much.

What's the story with McManus? Will he be available? I would say that will have a big bearing on the game.

Anything I have read seems to suggest that Cushendall are strong favourites. I wouldn't be so sure.
I'd assume he's playing,held out of St Johns game with KO hurling in mind,don't no about strong favourites but Cdall will be favourites,really depends what loughgiel shows up.

On reading the report I think Dunloy were missing seaan Elliot, Malloy and Eoin O'Neill at least. That would be worrying for other teams.
Dont think O Neill will be hurling this year and the other pair are in San Fran I believe. Probably home for the business end.

Molloy on the sideline.
must be home then, was told they were away with James McNaughton
