Any truth that Sambo is taking gortnamona?  Couldnt see it like

How do we need results? Limerick and Clare will be in the DIv2 final......

Results are good for championship buzz, March now, people should be busting a gut for places

Long way from Croke Park alright but sure you'd still be running about after the white ball like a madman like the rest of us old folk!

Ahhhhh Wind Up Merchant!!!!!  Had a brain fart there.

Milltown, have you boys got yourselves a manager yet?

WUM mean newstart?

Do you mean that because you have a fierce and old rivalry with St johns that they are all cowards or something to that effect?

In a Nutshell, Yes!  100% Correct!  But I am slowly learning to love them, because that would get their goat even more!

Some of the St Johns men would probably walk past you in the street oblivious to your burning hatred for fellow gaels

Go home and get your f**king shinebox?

LOL

Liked it!!

[Catch my drift?]

Cant see St Johns beating Ballycastle on that side of the draw, plus Ballycastle would be the only side to put it up to LG in that half of the draw.

Me neither.  The 'Johns' are very poor really, the 'town' should deal with them handy enough! I am still wondering what they are going to do for a piece of silverware!  Any suggestions?  I think our lads will give it a decent go this year.  We are in a rebuilding process, just like the 'town'.

Well St Johns would say that they are also at a rebuilding stage.  What are Rossa going to do for a piece of silverware?  Suggestions?  And to be honest, i know that St Johns won Division 2 last year, Rossa didn't so as it stands and their last contest, it pains me to say it but St Johns are the best hurling team in Belfast.


They aren't poor, they have a good pedigree and some very dangerous and steady players in the team.  There's a decent mix of youth and experience.  They aren't Cushendall but i think its unfair to call them poor and if they are then Rossa are poorer.

I agree that we are poor also, without question!  Any 'Johns' man with a stick in his hand is certainly dangerous, not so dangerous without one though.  Enough said!  Catch my drift? 

Not really

Not that i've ever heard them being called the 'johns', but i reckon they might well do alright.  They've a good chance of beating the Town and then on their day, they could cause an upset.  You have to hand it to them, they are handy enough when they are on their game as Rossa learned last year.

I'd love to see Rossa make a good breakthrough this year by getting out of division 2 and getting a run in the championship.  They are probably the most progressive hurling club in belfast

Its good to see the right teams entering the right championships (bar one maybe)

"The landlord and the sheriff came, to drive us all away"

A definite Loughgiel / Cushendall final i'd say but Rossa on their day are capable of upsetting the odds.  Disappointed to see that GNM are in intermediate.  Thought they wouldn't be back at that level with the talent they had up there coming through.  Good to see St Galls back in the big time.  Think they will struggle as they have went backwards in hurling terms but they have the potential to be a good hurling team - some serious players and im not even talking about the household name hurlers.

I'd say cushendall for the Senior.  Gorts or Clooney for the Inter

"and thats another reason why, we all shout F*** the Queen"  or words to that effect!

agreed!

Here's one for you all.  If we are happy to let the Down teams play in the leagues, i reckon we should let them play in the Antrim championship.  Agreed?

When are the hurling championship draws men?  Cushendall for me this year after behind hurt.  Fancy them!
