cushendun v creggan in a junior final before it I think

all we need now is the weather

thought both Dunloy and the town well beat yesterday.  both tried to compensate with a bit more aggression but it wasn't working out for them

thought Elliot let a bit too much go at times yesterday and there was a few incidents bordering on nasty.  was there not the usual big Dunloy support ??

however a great turn out for both games and a success.  expect a bumper crowd in ballycastle on Sunday 

any word of who gets the final

ulster plays leinster this year is that correct

cheers lads

tony not sure about your prediction about the Armagh champs.  reckon though there could be a couple of excellent matches, it will be interesting to see where they are fixed for as quite often Casement would have hosted a good few of them

watched ahoghill win well against CArey, they have a few super hurlers and great physicality and fitness levels

the old saying if you have played against them you will have known you were in a game

where do you see the portumna report or result ?/  was on the website and saw other results but they didn't seem to list this game

yeah Watson was at a few high jinks but actually think he showed a higher level of maturity today and certainly did not deserve any walk to the side lines.  he was able to wind the town boys up (little Michael also) and not lose his cool.  however did think his free taking needs a little fine tuning

thought joey scullion had a fine performance.  Benny mcgarry very good coming of the bench as did martin scullion

DD showed mcgarry the level he needs to get too  Have to also say that he is susceptible to a little mistake on the big days

so a final in ballycastle next weekend.  can't wait
still reckon the shams will have to go up a few gears to beat the dall but they are still the team that have those gears though their half back line is not as dominating as it should be nor midfield which are two big lines

should be super to watch

sat final and sunday final
going to be busy

is the final on next sunday ?  for sure

quite possible the saffs are facing one of the best u21 teams in the history of the competition

I just hope we give a good account of ourselves and if we can keep it low scoring all the better

one thing I can't wait to experience is the antrim support.  here there are a lot of buses goin to it

I shall be heading with a group of lads in the car as could be a while before we are in another one

though I hope not

SIE is there only one boy at that standard for the shamrocks /  just a little surprised so few from such a big club

so semis on sunday week and then I take it there will be 2 weeks until final ie the sunday after the new all Ireland hurling final

hoping for ballycastle to host cushendall against Dunloy as with a bigger crowd it offers better viewing for all spectators and I assume we will be for armoy to watch the town against loughgiel 

could armoy take both games as a double header I wonder ??/

it would be better than lamh dearg still the same run down look with the ball catching nets and pitch is certainly outside the top 10 in the county

Cushendall v good parking areas last nite with the area just across the road

hopefully harrys restaurant can save a terrible evening  Just watch the town hammer glenariff in the second half there after a strange first half.  the Cushendall st johns game was never really in doubt, same with dunloy and rossa.  loughgiel against cloughmills the same.

as usual we have to wait to the semi to see decent game

nothing to change my mind

loughgiel v dall final with dall favourites at moment.  ballycastle held by a poor team in first half wonder how loughgiel will deal with them 

It's loughgiel's fault.   

are you not getting tired of the world against loughgiel SIE routine or everyone has our laim public enemy number 1

looking for a little comfort in my bet

percentage wise how would you rate the Shams chances of winning the championship this year

AS for JOE EDWARDS.  GOOD GOD ONLY IN ANTRIM would that clown get such a position

the st pauls brigade would only just trust him with keeping scores back in the day

I'd say with the Cushendalls form at present they would be favourites but like I say would like to see how shams deal with the town.  if it was the loughgiel of those past days yes they would be favourites, beginning to think they are a little stale.  want to see them again. 

as for thurles being a nice town.  on a summers day for a big game yes.  but a bit of a shithole in all honesty

plus the fact it is and hour and a half the wrong side of Dublin for us

well really looking forward to weekend fixtures

probably be out a bob or two but as long as it get the lads a few expenses

predictions
dunloy to dispose of rossa with ease
cushendall to beat a spirited johnnies team but not after a few hiccups
shamrocks to beat the not so noisy neighbours
ballycastle to beat the oisins by over ten

I would say now dall v shamrocks final and at this point going to say the Dall are slight favourites with a bit of form

will be interested to see how loughgiel play against the town if my predictions are correct
