Balboa......here goes... i hope my spelling is correct

Congratulations to Dunloy - well deserved and thankfully stopped the shamrocks from winning. Thought they were the better team, who physically were bigger and stronger is the key areas. Couldnt believe Barney McAuley wasn't moved off Ally Elliot. Throws up the  question - is Barney really a county player??

Winker was a class act and if Loughgiel had of got more ball into him they could have sneaked it. They kept going for goals, which i felt if they had of put them over the bar it would have put the pressure on Dunloy more.

But overall enjoyed the final, better team won and was a really good match.

Where do Loughgiel go from here??

In my opinion, only token work in being put in by schools especially primary level. With notable exceptions to prob Cross and passion and maybe St Marys the rest of our schools are failing us. No hurling in pe lessons and only playing fulfilling fixtures.

When i was at skool many moons ago all we played was practically hurling with Brian Thompson (RIP). Maybe some 5 aside in hall but emphasis was on hurling. Is that happening now??

On sunday - good luck to both teams. Dunloy will start as favourites, but although i want loughgiel beat, i have a sneaking feeling they will finally win their big yin....they seem well coached and ready to deliver.

No comment!

We were poor, really poor. Didnt show up, big players bar pinky didnt perform.

Didnt go to other semi. Heard Dunloy were good. Loughgiel played well yesterday, but i hope to god they get stuffed cos they are the biggest shower of w****** i have ever come accross

Max and Skull dont let us down!!

Nealer from frees, Pinky is always good for a goal or two.. Remember all we have to do is score more than them. They are limited in that department to. Dont want to give away to much, but from what i hear we have a plan or two up our sleeve

Sorry lads......havent been on for a while....been celebrating

Great win for u-21's last week. Super performance from the lads. Our big players in Nealer, Hippy and Chrissy delivered and the rest followed. Gives us a great boost for Saturday. Will we beat them?? we have a chance. Honestly if we can negate Winker which we plan to do i personally feel we can take them. Great spirit in the camp at present. Best i have saw it in years. We wont have a better chance to put one over our dear neighbours 

Cushendall beat Rossa 4-10 to 0-11 in minor semi final to set up a final with Loughgiel. St Brendans (amalgamation outfit) forfeited the other semi final because they cudnt field ateam due to having 7 players suspended from their 1/4 final win over the Johnnies!!! Supposely a massive row broke out at theend with players, subs and supporters involved......ref Conor Cunning stood back and noted numbers of the players involved.......

Got the lamas fair over with nearly.....wer back to training tonight....alot of boys will need to run the gravy out!!

was chating to ones over the fair bout best format for our championship...a few ideas suggested. Personally i think championship should be open draw knockout - wot ever chance any of us have of beating one of the big 3, is in a one off game...

Dunloy played portaferry in a friendly on sunday.....won handy enough

Was around town last night, and was very annoyed to see a number of our players on the lash - 5 days before a make or break championshipmatch against St Johns.....and no doubt they will be on it today. It beggars belief imo. Cant understand the mentality of our lads.

Balboa - was there any intensity to your match with lamh dearg. Cushendall seem to be powering past everyone at a frightening pace

Loughgiel beat ballygalget by a couple of points. Dont know actual score. Fellow mcquillan gael who lives in city was at it and said it was a fiery enough encounter with both teams at full strenghth (as far as he thinks) - Winker watson was the difference between two teams. Im meeting him (mcquillan gael) in Boyd tomorrow wevening to kick start the lamas fair, so will get a full run down

God knows...id reckon Dunloy wud be a wee bit cuter with that stuff with Shane Elliot involved. Either way 23rd Sept in when the real stuff begins. I have a horrible sneaking feeling for Loughgiel......

Pride - they prob will knock lumps out of other!!!!

U-21 final on friday against dunloy...hopefully milltown you will do us a favour and cut lumps out of them tonight and hopefully slow a few of them down for Friday night Wink

Skull or max - is it true Sean dowds is out with broken bone in hand?

Our preparation are going well at present, so hopefully we can pull it off

As for 2nite - dunloy will pull away in last 20 to win easy while Shamrocks will slaughter Lamh Dearg who like GNM have nothing to play for!"!

Story of your life NorthAntrim..........

Good lad Balboa - and you say i should be on the Hogan Stand Board!! - you are definitely painting a great picture of yourself.........

Dunloy game def was closer than i thought, then again they wernt overly impressive against us on saturday night in Ulster League with virtually the same team. Althouh they were missing alot of key men, as already pointed out. Lamh Dearg were brutal i heard. chatted with a sham in a shop on way to work this morning and he said they just folded after 15 minutes..... the next 3 games will tell the tale - Cushendall v St Johns, St Johns v Ballycastle, Loughgiel v St galls. If we can win tomorrw night i fancy us to beat St Johns....if we dont - were F****D!!

on a serious note - condoloences to our manager and legend Humpy McKillen - whose brother Billy died on Tuesday Night RIP.

i think it was mickey Dallat and not his twin Peter he was referring too. Better player, more committed and if given rite direction will make a very good club player but unfortnuately dont think will make senior county. He marked young Brick the other nite - dalls best player and the two broke even.....Brick really only contributing from frees

Maybe Balboa will have an opinion....hes seem to have on everything else
