The Ballycastle situation is sad to see from a North Antrim Hurling perspective. We all need each other as was previously
Mentioned to keep everybody pushing. The County teams Ballycastle and the Club needs a strong senior team as their shop window.
From an outsider their juvenile set up has a lot to answer for, some of the behaviour towards their own mentors and other club players has been a disgrace and not dealt with properly by the Committee.i have witnessed this myself on dozens of occasions. Another problem again aluded to above has been their attutide from winning with CPC seemes to gone to their heads, again i know this from a few Dall players on those teams that had their head up there arses when they won/contested B finals, (yes B final) We are maybe lucky to have a lot of strong characters in our team that wouldnt accept the crap thankfully.
Where do they go from here? Maybe a club hurling meeting invite everybody in with an interest in McQuillans Gac ask a respected head to lead the conversation , perhaps someone of the calibre of Big Ronan.
Only my thoughts as I said but I hope to god they stop this for, the hammerings make bad headlines.
Big Ronan was that well respected that the players got rid of him after getting to county final! Humpy was another respected figure who was ousted by players. Who would be more respected in Ballycastle hurling circles than Ronan and Humpy? Not many, and look at how they were treated.
