Antrim Hurling

Well that's your view. It's not something I agree with or Woody would agree with in his coaching sessions.

Committing the defender is often how to create the space for the runner and the overlap and how to create the space to get a shot at goal.

Don't take commit the defender as a forward you are forced away from goal and into wide areas, too easy to play against.

And u14s need to develop their movement, spacial awareness and footwork in this regard. 

And how does two touch prevent an U14 player, any player from taking the ball into contact?

I've never seen anyone go into contact with the ball still on the end of their hurl.

Big game at the Dub tomorrow night as St Killian's and CPC meet in the Mageean Cup final.

I'd say St Killian's are favourites with 10 of the starting 15 from last year back for another shot at it but CPC have plenty of quality themselves.

Hopefully a great game that isn't too badly impacted by the weather.

It's in doubt. Pitch inspection tomorrow morning.

There was a lot of rain today and I think the forecast was for a lot more tomorrow.

The final last year was absolutely Baltic. I think the pitch was frozen by the end.

Is it at the dub? I've been in that area this morning and while it rained a lot yesterday it's been grand since late yesterday afternoon so it's likely ok.

Yeah the Arena pitch

[imtommygunn]

I suspect it should be grand then.

Good news. Think there's to be heavy rain around 5 or 6 but hopefully, they've taken that into account and the game lives up to the billing.

Not sure what you do with the Mageean Cup, 6 teams in it this year with two groups of 3. All 6 qualify for QF or semi final.

It seems to be the modern way. Everyone gets group games to get some game time then the knockouts are where it really starts.

Knock made an awful mess of it this year...

They'd a good team, probably a bit below both finalists but should have been well able to give either a decent semi-final, but the team was badly out of shape against St Pats Maghera in the quarter final and got caught out.

Yeah they were expected to be much better than they turned out to be

[SaffronSports]

St Killian's were always going to be strong this year. 10 of their starting 15 from last year are on the panel again this year. Think CPC are quite young this year so they'll probably be favourites next season regardless of what happens tonight.

[imtommygunn]

I would imagine it's a long time since any St Killians / Garron Tower won it. I don't ever remember it happening.
