When McNaughton is on form like that today he is such a top hurler,
Nugent did well coming off the bench aswell

Good performance overall today, we pushed them well, won the 2nd half, a few missed chances to make it closer which is a pity, and gave it away at the back a few times and kilkennys shooting accuracy was very good, but overall a great performance considering it was kilkenny in nowlan park

It could be a tough game tomorrow, especially if the players have to do the drive themselves from Antrim to Kilkenny on the morning of the match. Im looking forward to it tho

McManus has never been a dirty player, not even close, thats a strange question
He's a legend, one of our best and most comitted hurlers ever.

I dont understand the yes man thing either, another strange question

Well done to Antrim from your friends in Carlow.

Was impressed with your team in the MacDonagh and
great to see the progress continue.

Keep it going.

Cheers buddy

I thought Darren Glesson was very clever after the game, downplaying the result and saying we need to focus on the next one etc.
He's a great coach, i hope he can stick the travelling up and down to stay with us for at least another couple of years.
I can see him managing tipp in the future

It's really great to see Antrim back. There is a lot of grá for Antrim in the hurling counties.

Thanks,
I was at a galway v antrim hurling game years ago in salthill, 1st half was close, 2nd half galway pulled away, but the home crowd were really respectful even when you started to hammer us, even applauding when we got a point. You wouldnt get that in most grounds.
Altho tipp are my 2nd team cos of dinny cahill, liam sheedy and darren gleeson

If we can pick up at least one more win that should hopefully keep us in div 1 for next year. If we do that and are competitive in the other games i think that'll be a success

I wonder how many minutes we get tonight and will Donal Og eats his words?

Yea it'll be interesting to see that.
They'll probably spend more time talking about how bad it is for Clare instead of giving us the credit

Yess! What a win! Unbelievable, over the moon  i cant believe it, they were brilliant!

For me its our biggest win since we beat dublin in croke park in 2010

I cant remember seeing us beat one of the big munster teams before

Anyone looked for the tg4 app on their smart tv? Is it available up here?

I got it on my tv but im living in the south now, hopefully its available up home aswell

Mattie Donnelly a great hurler but I would worry about his pace against these teams.

Clare plus ten sounds about right.

Yea i was thinking that aswell about his pace

Yea a strong team, eoghan campbell dropping to hb and mcmanus into midfield, great to see mcmanus back!
In the fb line mattie donnelly and duffin dropping, damon mcmullan coming in and walsh coming in from hb.
The hf and ff line looks great aswell

Hi lads,
New to the forum,
Big into antrim hurling,

Excited for this year, realistically it will be tough to win many games this year, but if we can compete, nick a few games and hopefully we can stay in div 1 and the leinster championship and build from there.
Final league game at home to Laois will be a biggee
