Is Alan Nash not a Derry referee??

Anybody else hearing talk of the Derry teams moving into the Antrim leagues for next year?

They were invited into the Antrim leagues last year. Only one team took up the offer.

Ballygalget more east than Portaferry. Johnney Cool could verify.

Sure Joe has at least one fan from Tyrone

Think the 10 team Division 1 was the recommendation of the Hurling Focus Group with Championship being determined by a club's league status. St Gall's are in Division 2 but can play senior championship if desired. A club can if they wish play in the Championship above their division but cannot drop to a lesser championship. eg a Division 2 team cannot play in the Junior Hurling Championship

Believe they were invited to participate in Antrim subject to clearance from the Derry County Board, but I think most of them are not taking up the offer as it might clash with the bokeball.

Derry hurling clubs invited to play in the Antrim leagues this year. Not sure if many of them are taking up the offer though. Only one so far I believe.

In Donegal they play the first round of their football championship on a home and away basis. If both teams win one game each it goes to a 3rd game, winner takes all. Might not be a bad idea - guarantees another game or two.

[Antrim - There won't be a petrol bomb thrown]

Marty Morrissey famously said there won't be a cow milked for a week when Clare won the Munster football title 20 years ago.
Since there is no grazing land in Clare, it would have been business as usual.

What could be said when other counties win something? What activity won't get done for a week with the celebrations?

Dublin - There won't be a spoon burned for a week.
Monaghan - There won't be a drop of diesel laundered.
Donegal - There won't be a Honda Civic written off
Wexford - There won't be a strawberry picked
Louth - There won't be a cigarette smuggled
Kildare - There won't be a stable cleaned out
Roscommon - There won't be a sheep sheared
Antrim - There won't be a petrol bomb thrown
Any others?

Dont lump the rest of us in with the McCooey's

Na Magha, Derry City

North Antrim is divided into 2 grades at underage, the A Grade being - Loughgiel, Cushendall, Ballycastle, St Brendan's etc. Glenariff play in the B Grade - Glenarm, Rasharkin, Sean Stinsons, Creggan, Larne etc. A few Dunloy underage teams were playing in the B grade until recently.

[South Antrim organises]

I think there is a certain amount of apathy towards North Antrim within certain South Antrim elements at county board level. South Antrim organises hurling and football compared to hurling only underage leagues, tournaments etc. organised by North Antrim. I think in the past the county board have attempted to clip the wings of the North Antrim Board. However North Antrim do run well organised underage blitzes, leagues and championships as well as organising the Feis weekend in conjunction with Feis na nGleann etc. a few of the Belfast clubs are now attempting to enter N.A for hurling purposes.

I think that is a total over statement.

Probably the main reason that Belfast clubs are trying to get into N.A.
