bad run of injuries. cushendall could do with him fit again

hurler i hope for your sake the playing ban is lifted and you as a club get rid of the wasters. i know a lot of your senior players on and off the field and hope you field next year.

as for your clubmate, you are still playing this old record that yous are innocent. take the bans as a good thing. out with the old....

i fancy ballymena to do the business on sunday.
on the rasharkin issue again. so bad 3 senior teams loosing out on a years playing action and obviously dropping leagues if thats the case. i hope the good core of gaels dont loose intrest

maybe you need to step outside the box and realise that it is people with your views etc that has rasharkin in this trouble. majority of people in rasharkin club are good people, good sportsmen and decently behaved on and off the pitch. these people i feel sorry for. but it is up to the other percentage to either clear off or follow the example of other club members/players

Good Refs from what i seen they couldnt lead blind mice! I think they both should have some sort of punishment after all they did add fuel to the fire!

what punishment do they deserve?
fuel to the fire? how? being attacked? defending themselves? loosing their cool in a difficult situation?

your views are very one sided, hold your hands up and admit rasharkin were 100% in the wrong

Lamh Dhearg Ray Matthews Eoin Elliot all got off scot free. The county clearly see's one way!

what do you expect to happen to owen and ray? lifetime bans? two good referees than we couldnt afford to lose. hopefully both dont let this thuggary put them off the sport they both obviously love

out of curiosity who funds that trip? club? county? ulster?

saffronog why is cassleys name not down for the hurling trial?

dont think anybody can blame Ballymena for this. The playing facilities are first class. Small walk to the pitch from the changing rooms but this, as someone has stated before was never a problem before. When supporters/players want to behave in this manner then no club in the county could provide enough protection for referees. Look at the incident in Croke park last year with Sludden. Stewards etc in place and the man still gets attacked. I feel sorry for the good people of Rasharkin who are brought down by these thugs

Not sure about peter but i heard that paul was injured from the game on wednesday. hopefully he will be fit for the ulster game on Sunday, although if not fit Brian will do a good job for us

new pitch has been finished for a year. been really good to have as the other pitch can get very heavy after a lot of rain. think the juvenile hurlers are still training outside which wouldnt be possible on the 'old' pitch

McVeigh is a great footballer but the Ballymena team has a great backbone of quality players throughout the pitch. Yes they were bottom for a while but they had serious amount of injuries etc. Look at the positive results for them. Drawing with portglenone and st pauls in the league, beating rasharkin and portglenone convincingly in the feis cup final and championship final

real problem for belfast clubs. i doubt there is any way of policing this. parents will send their talented children to bigger clubs in search of glory. disagree with ods entering junior again. look for example what st brigids and ahoghill have done over the past years...won junior and progressed and are now both senior teams. maybe ods are happy at this level.

intermediate semi final on wednesday...going for ballymena by two

fair play to aldergrove but the fact it took a month to sort out is unbelievable. what would of happened if the final was played before the appeal was through?

shambles isnt the word for it. the momentum is now with aldergrove..how can ballymena pick themselves up after preparing for a battle against portglenone to having to play the semi final. its a disgrace on the countys behalf fixing the final and even telling ballymena they are in the final. it has been a month since semi final weekend and a day before the final is to take place aldergrove are back in. hope justice prevails and the ballymena men get their final place
