has anyone noticed the commentators talking about 'kick passes ' as this is something new or something.

so close in you'd think he'd score!!! hearty is a big fella though

How many years now have Derry underperformed in the Ulster Championship? is it 12?

even with 15 men i don't think they would have won

i hope so!! don't think a Belfast club could do it on its own. a club amalgamation maybe the way forward.  but the club needs to be a sole hurling club with no distractions from the big ball game. it would take it also to be properly affiliated.

can see Rossa possibly chasing honours (maybe not winning) in a few years providing they work continue with their development plan.

as for the money going into Dublin it seems a bit unfair that a City like Belfast which has 30 clubs (some Down teams in that) is not getting the required help in targeting the schools which are not producing hurling talent. gone are the days of teacher staying and coaching kids taking teams and developing players. (i know a few good teachers out there doing this, so not a reflection on them)

Ah balax

St. Johns    3-15   0-11   St. Pauls

It's tight at the top.

Has the bubble still burst?

Christ they are shite!! i could have played in that game

Rossa and yourselves didnt beat them by much?

Rossa did beat yourselves though which is more important than hammering an also ran.

strange though! at senior hurling we have never in the past been known as hurling rivals to Rossa and St Johns. so the question is this, has the hurling dropped between the big two or have St Galls improved?

i'm of the opinion that we have improved.

well shows the quality of the man if he's willing to walk away rather than fight for his place. (if this is true)

i can remember fighting for positions on our senior hurling team and i knew that we had two quality players coming who'd take my position but rather give up i adopted a new role/position and played on for a few years.

point being, if Baker thought he was good enough in one position he is bound to have enough quality to push other players in other positions.

i hope its not the case that he dropped himself for that reason

Day pass secured.

now when you head into Casement's bar, turn right and I'll be propping up the bar. usually get a pint quick enough!!! bring Saffron and i'll buy him a pint also, buy the hatchet and all that

St Johns hammered last night!! the hurling bubble has burst big time at the Corrigan road ground.

hurling on the slide and the footballers doing well in the leagues.

Hows underage and senior hurling going in St Galls? Much young talent coming through? Are St Johns not top of Div 2 as far as I Know? Thanks Champ.

ours is shite Groudile, haven't won a feile in years and havent won minor since Karl Stewart's team (our only minor win) Struggling to make an impression at Juvenile, but will plug away

st Johns top by virtue of played one extra game!!

my point being i expect more from a team that has produced a string of excellent hurlers at underage recently and after watching the Rossa game and hearing the result from the under 21's from a Cushendall team who would not be the best, surprising?

As a clubman your bound to be a little concerned Groundlie. keep your knickers on

two serious tight games. what was the Dall game like?

players all available to both teams?

they don't seem to manage to hold on to players

Anyone who has seen St. John's play this season will testify to the fact that they are simply "thugs", surviving due to poor refereeing. Their behaviour, on the pitch,  is a disgrace to the Association. Little difference from last year, and the previous year. The only change is they rotate the "dirty" play, to ensure they don't have men sent off. Presumably their mentors spent the Winter  coaching this aspect of their game? In truth there's not a game of decent football in them, and their best "scoring" is the number of yellow cards.

being harsh there Northern Light. think the Johnnies have worked out that their past indiscipline has been their undoing and have in place a better system to insure they play the ball instead of the man!!

have not seen them play this year but by all accounts they have done well. Championships are won in September and this will be were all teams are judged.

Our club ran a hurling tournament for the kids at the weekend. the weather was great and the kids served up a feast of hurling passion and skill.

teams form all over Belfast, south Belfast and North, teams from the Ards Peninsula also in attendance. usually the same faces win these competitions but the trend was bucked at the weekend when Ballygalget won the Cup and Pearses from North Belfast won the Shield.

i know the kids will come away from this feeling great and eager for the next tournament. was played without the Go Games rules and this made for a better show IMHO.

Hopefully this will be a regular thing and well done to all involved
