Antrim Hurling

[NorthAntrim]

Senior Ballycastle
Intermediate Dunsilly
Junior Loughgiel

Is where it should be IMO

Agree with that. Don't know why they are taking the JHC to Waterfoot.

Stick the two teams cars into it theres not much parking space left. Poor viewing too and pitch was never one of my favourites either

Hard to beat the view!! Love Glenariffe for that

Fantastic on a long sunny summer evening

They hosted the Junior final two years ago there between Glenravel and Glenarm which was obviously the perfect venue.

They'll open the back bit for parking too. They'll do a good job of hosting it.

[NorthAntrim]

Centre location there. But from a viewing point of view and taking two teams past better venues is silly. Ballycastle would be 20minutes from both. Terrace area, with more than enough parking.

Good club pitch btw and good people, not a dig at their club just feel better options for a county final

The big problem atm is getting teams willing to host games at this time of year too. There are a lot of venues that don't necessarily make sense across the codes but a lot of clubs want to minimize the usage of their pitch once their own teams are done so they can get whatever maintenance is required sorted.

Getting people to be stewards and hosting the finals is a a big thing.. People/clubs don't want the hassle nowadays

So not knowing what's going on in the background will always generate opinions .. BTW I know nothing lol

Glenariffe seems happy enough to host matches at the minute. They even had an Antrim Camogie match this year and hosted one of the North Antrim hurling finals a few weeks ago. My wee girl plays for their Gaelic team so I'd be there a good bit although I'm not a member or from the area, just a taxi driver for the young one.

Does it need to be a hurling stronghold venue?  Would a Ballymena, Portglenone or Cargin be suitable?

I'm assuming Dunloy minors weren't allowed to play last night in U-19 semi final against Glenariffe/Glenravel. Looked like an easy enough victory for Glenariffe/Glenravel

Sounded like a bad injury for the Dunloy goalie who is hopefully ok. Don't know about u17s etc.

The underage is interesting this year - Cushendall were so dominant at u15 then got beat in championship, u17 quite open and then Loughgiel beat in u19.

I'd have thought the Glenariffe/Glenravel combo would have been favourites for U17 as Dunloy were well off them at U15 a few years back, no?

Senior - hard to look past Cushendall. Though the intense rivalry could see the game tighter than expected.  Intermediate and Junior tougher to call. Weather looks decent and all 3 games can be reached logistically. Looing forward to it. Hopefully a great weekend of hurling:

Senior - Cushendall
Intermediate - Sarsfields
Junior - Cloughmills

U19 just doesn't work unfortunately. Lack of interest with the big clubs.

Thoughts on Minor final?

Dunloy will be hard to beat. Anything else will be a surprise.
