Antrim Hurling

[Fear Bun Na Sceilpe]

Finals are for winning. Delighted for Dunloy to be honest. Same as Loughgiel in the Camogie. Slaughtneil were at the point where they would have been living in their heads so a great achievement to get over the line against them.

Were lucky in that camogie final, S'neil weren't great and missed some scores, handling errors all over the place..

Lol. Sweet Jesus , isn't this what you were slagging me for. Let's get the camogie convention going, bán handling errors lol

No, keep up, I said I'm taking the piss, though you could see that, I hadn't even watched it!!

Now back in your box, did Derry win anything at club level in hurling/camogie  this year?

Not this year unfortunately, but we are a humble people .

Weird, weird dude

Chill out, I'm taking the piss, I've yet to read anywhere that the Dunloy team won that game with the style they have shown the last 4 years in Antrim

Don't think many teams win finals with real style in December to be fair. A lot of the time pitches at this time of year mean you just have to dig in, battle hard and take the chances that you earn. Guess that's all part of trying to squeeze it all in woth our climate.

Another thing never mentioned was shorty was missing. There was a score dunloy got at the end where boys on both sides were busting their balls for everything and he got the ball and just used the brain to see space and easy score created. Some operator.

Anything of note come out of the county convention?

Was there any motions that got passed or some put on hold?

Hopefully (for the Derry wans) the motion of banning flukey goals was passed 

League restructuring in football is being re considered. Whether this is for 2023 or 2024 is unclear. Ccc /CB made no motions / recommendations as to their preferred options so clubs will re convene in Jan  and probably a decision by Feb.!

U15 All County Leagues to have unlimited subs !

Football and Hurling?

I thought it was an incredible performance by Dunloy

Considering - it's December against a top class team who are seen as one of the fitness and most physically conditioned club teams ever.  Of course we would love to play the game in Casement Park in July but that is not how championships are played

Factor in
- County player Eoin O'Neill leaving the country for a year
- losing Woody, the mainstay of our defence for over a decade
- injury curtailing Decky Smyth involvement
- injury ruling out regular match winner Chrissy McMahon
- captain and legend Paul Shields missing from the starting line up

That's potentially a third of the team missing at the start but the lads that stepped in performed heroically

Dunloy will catch Slaughtneil this year. They've been around the block enough times at this stage and know what they need to do differently. They've better stick men than Slaughtneil. Cushendall is the perfect preparation for them.

Those people claiming it wasn't a great performance; IT MOST CERTAINLY WAS. For a team to be able to change their style of play to enable them to beat an outstanding team - that is exactly what a great performance is. They executed their strategy and got the job done.

Dunloy are an incredibly talented hurling team. The best I have seen since 2012. Now they've learned how to beat teams by hurling in a different manner, that is special. Testament to the work, dedication and committment from Greg, his management team and players. They were training 5 nights per week at one stage during the process.

We are on our way to seeing something special.

Few sensible people on here alluding to the fact that you're not going to see the style and panache with which they beat Antrim club teams this season when they're playing Slaughtneil in December. That's what great teams do - mix it up!!

Those 5 are some loss Maxpower. Hopefully Woody and Paul are still good to be around the panel for another few years as Dunloy look to take their talent to the next level. This squad can be anything it wants in the next few years, there's nothing to stop them.

Dunloy are 4/1 in some bookies, I've it as a 50/50 game, maybe I'm missing something?

Northern teams always have been disrespected come this stage, and more often than not the bookie isn't far away! I've it down to how dunloy deals with the occasion, St Thomas been around the block, Dunloy hit a goal early and get the tails up they'll give them all they want on a big open pitch!

But as for world domination. CALM THE FCUK DOWN!!!

I'm taking the plus 5 that paddy power have, I agree too the bookies don't get it wrong too much

I'll have whatever you're smoking..

You not think with a full panel they could win an all ireland or two in the next five years?
