Super game at the weekend, Cdall still will be wondering how they managed to throw it away after getting back into it.

Credit to SN they kept going and actually played some really good hurling, Cdall couldn't loved with the pace and power and directness.

Forwards have been hard to come by for Cdall for a good few years now, plenty of really quality backs but very few quality score getters.

Game of the weekend hurling wise for sure.

Credit To SN they kept going and actually played some great hurling.

When will some of these Antrim men finally give Slaughtneil the credit they deserve and stop with the snide remarks.

How they managed to throw it away? I'm sure they can't believe how they managed to take it to extra time.

Slaughtneil were easily 10 points the better team on the day.

McCormack making the bold call of telling the McKaigue brothers to stay at home if they weren't going to commit has helped Slaughtneil hugely!

Total credit too them, wasn't for a second taking anything away.

I think though observers would fairly admit that in previous years the hurling came a bit behind their physicality and their desire. On Saturday night they definitely brought a new and better style of hurling to the game. Obviously well coached into them by PMcC.

For what it is worth I had two SN lads ahead of BR for MOTM but they can't seem to go past the big names for those types of awards.

What observers? Physicality and desire is part of the game as is hurling ability?

Physicality and desire doesn't win you 4 Ulster titles in the last 7 years.

I think Neil McManus deserved MOTM but rarely does anyone on the losing side get it, therefore I think Brendan with being Slaughtneil's top scorer probably deserved it.

Fancy Cushendall to win it by 6 points. Sneill are no longer the team they were which was evident last year.

Portaferry will be the bigger test for them.

No longer the team they were. You're right, they're better. You boys haven't a clue

Cushendal beat S'neil by 4
Dunloy beat S'neil by 2

Wouldn't rule Slaughtneil out just yet.

You boys weren't ruling Dunloy out when Slaughtneil were beating them off the park year after year. Dunloy came back and beat them. Hurling is a funny old game and Slaughtneil are going well at the minute.

Saturday evening will tell the tale.

If they play like they did against Banagher, Cushendall will beat them easily enough.

If I thought you knew what you were talking about I'd take your comments on board.

Banagher played with two sweepers and scored 4 points, 1 from play. In those circumstances 16 points was a pretty good return in the conditions.

This couldn't get any worse. An absolute shambles from top to bottom.

Can't see why any manager in Ireland would touch the job now.

How much was Harte on? 100k
Gallagher maybe the same?

Surely someone would manage Derry even just for the money.

Doran hunted out of S'neil along with his bald leprechaun after being linked with the Derry job lol Gallagher now being linked with the vacant role

Management merry go round in full flow

The Derry players excluding glen and Newbridge lads trained last week. Took it upon themselves, McKaigue took the session.

Any new faces?

No same panel as last year minus a few

Not sure why that lad is giving out.

Good win for the 'Bridge but Glen would have been very strong favourites for this game. 

That fella has lost the plot, just read through his tweets.

You're famous now!

They're a v sensitive bunch, very little wrong with going into a county final as big underdogs and very few giving them a chance (zero to do with a lack of respect) , every other club in the county outside of Glen would have loved to have been in Newbridge's shoes yesterday morning.
Again, delighted to see them win yesterday.

Here we go 4 in a....

All conquering Glen side couldn't manage the 4.

They're levels to this game.

I thought the free in for ballinderry was harsh enough on faughanvale but at the same time you can't put your hand on a players back when you're tackling. So by the letter of the law is was probably the correct call.

On the senior match the one point victory really flattered Maghera as Newbridge were far superior in nearly every department. Can only assume chicken was playing advantage in the last play as the bridge lad was clearly fouled in the lead up to the match winning score.

Derry now the only county not to have formally appointed a manager. Lol

The word on the street was banagher were out warming up but slaughtneil didn't leave the changing rooms to play it in the conditions. Any truth to it?

Yeah Slaughtneil did an intense warm up in Kevin Lynch park prior to playing banagher. Dungiven hate Brian McGilligan that much nothings a problem.

Don't believe all you hear on the streets.

According to todays paper portaferry are in line to take Cushendals title. You men reckon they'd have a chance?

Good weekend for Swatragh people with sticks, Camogie yesterday and back to back hurling championships today, going for senior next year for a hat trick

1 camogie title in 20 odd years and a second division hurling title isn't exactly the stuff of dreams is it.

What has Mark Doran achieved at Slaughtneil to earn a shot at the county gig?

Slaughtneil lads would be happy to see him go I'm sure. Brought nothing fresh to the table besides playing a goalkeeper outfield which in the end beat them.

Surely Derry just go and get Gallagher and take it on the chin.

Newbridge by 4

S'neil by 1

Faughanvale by 6

Ballinderry by 3

That's my predictions anyway
