Seems to be a bit of to and from on the County Website concerning club aontroma but its been heavily censored - anyone know what thats about?

I gotta confess firstly I was not at the Glenarm Rossa game but was talkin to both the Rossa crowd last night and a neutral caravanner in Carnlough!
Basically Rossa had to scrape a team together(cant blame anyone there surely?!) but no ref arrived. A Glenarm boy refereed and in fairness it sounded farcical! Bias/cheating GAA style but the my rossa mate tells me there was a few blatent moves pulled by ref & sideline resulted in some fighting etc - I think Glenarm will get some welcome when they arrive to Rossa later in the year!
Surprised by poor quality hurling in Castle game I think both sides have quality there with Hippy McAuley Ciaran Kelly and Galls have Karl S and the mc gourts.

Sounds like the weather ruined the game in Ballycastle? Altho in the long run the town will be happy at the end of the day the result is all that matters.

I was at Shaws Road for the Rossa Clooney game - non event. Rossa won at a canter I think they ended up replacing their entire forward line to give subs a game. But for Glenarm lads - sorry could not resist that! The Rossa folk on the hill still seething about that game - no ref turned up and Shane O'Neills guy pulled a corker to secure their first win lol!

I dont see BC bein shifted from the top of the table - depending on Gall football commitments the top3 will probably finish in that order as Rossa have serious problems getting their players on the pitch.

What and Hannahstown anyone? A bright start but they have gone quiet must be collecting draw money.

I think the gamesmanship is from the Milltown men! They are playing down their position but they still deserve credit - castle to win however and the table will take shape.
Clooney will give Rossa all they want also - I heard their game at Glenarm was a farce and it will knock them back after good results it finally puts their league challenge to bed also. Clooney are a better team than their results suggest.
Anyway - we will know more by tomorrow!

Yes I think other sports are a growing problem - and no coincedence its mainly at underage level.

After all, there's a loss of the parish/local pride etc (general in society) so young guys are more inclined to fly the nest - especially if there's a few quid in it.
But also our underage strucutes (pitches, goalnets etc but mainly refs availabitlity) mean soccer still has the edge at this level.

Ballycastle sufffer but even more so the city clubs - hard to see what can be done?

Speaking of those clubs  - I think Galls will fall to Castle this week whioch shoulod be the start of the end of div2.
Heard the Rossa boys were none to happy comin out of Glenarm also?
